NPR reports:
John Fetterman, Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor, has won the state’s Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, according to a race call from The Associated Press.
The 6-foot-9 Fetterman, who often wears shorts to campaign events and has the persona of an authentic anti-politician, topped Rep. Conor Lamb in the primary.
