Republican Rep. Kevin Hern was projected to win Tuesday’s Oklahoma U.S. Senate race over Democrat N’Kiyla Jasmine Thomas, according to Decision Desk HQ. Breitbart reports that NBC News also projected the race and that Hern led 59.4 percent to 37.1 percent with nearly 70 percent of votes counted when it was called, less than two hours after polls closed. Hern, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump, succeeds Markwayne Mullin, who was tapped to lead the Department of Homeland Security. Thomas, a self-described socialist and nurse, was making her first run for public office.
