McCaskill, Hawley to face off in Missouri Senate race
This November, voters in Missouri will choose between incumbent Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill and Republican Josh Hawley, the state's attorney general.
In Tuesday's Republican primary, Hawley, who had the backing of President Trump, defeated 10 other candidates. McCaskill easily won her Democratic primary, and is vying for a third term. On Tuesday night, McCaskill said she would "never stop being an independent voice for Missouri."
