Scott Brown Wins GOP Primary for Senate in N.H.

Moved up from Massachusetts to take on Jeanne Shaheen

Former Massachusetts U.S. Sen. Scott Brown won New Hampshire's Republican U.S. Senate primary on Tuesday, moving forward in his attempt to get back to Washington from another state.

Even though Brown was from a neighboring state, Republican leaders viewed him as the strongest challenger to incumbent Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen in a race that could be critical in the Republicans' drive to regain a Senate majority.
