"Pruitt Loses Okla. Senate Primary; Casten Beats Newman"

"Former EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt failed in his attempt to return to Washington yesterday, finishing far behind his opponents in the primary race for a U.S. Senate seat for Oklahoma.

Meanwhile, a handful of lawmakers were defeated in yesterday’s primary elections, due to redistricting that pitted them against fellow incumbents or successful intraparty challengers.

In the Oklahoma race, Pruitt came in fifth place in the GOP primary to succeed retiring Sen. Jim Inhofe (R), with just 5 percent of the vote."
