The Hill reports, citing Decision Desk HQ, that Republican state Sen. Eric Barlow is projected to defeat Democrat Ken Casner and Constitution Party candidate Rebecca Bextel in Wyoming's governor's race, with a projected 48-point margin over Bextel. Barlow, a former Speaker of the Wyoming House, would succeed term-limited Gov. Mark Gordon. Breitbart News reports that the Associated Press and NBC News called the race for Barlow early on election night, when about four percent of votes were counted and he led Casner 61 percent to 27 percent. Breitbart also notes that Barlow defeated Megan Degenfelder, who had Trump's support, in the August Republican primary.
