Former NFL sideline reporter Michele Tafoya scores victory in Minnesota GOP Senate primary

Former NFL sideline reporter and four-time Emmy Award winner Michele Tafoya has won the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate in Minnesota. Tafoya defeated state GOP-endorsed candidate Adam Schwarze and other challengers in the primary. National Republican leaders view her as the best opportunity to secure a Senate seat in Minnesota since 2002. While Tafoya now prepares for the November race, current polls and forecasts suggest Democrats maintain an advantage in the general election contest.
