00:02Several states held primary elections Tuesday, but all eyes were on Maine, where one of the most closely watched Senate
00:09races in the country is now set for November.
00:11The results were expected. Incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins won her party's nomination, while Democrat Graham Plattner secured his.
00:20But the win still marked a major test for Plattner, who has spent weeks trying to move past allegations that
00:27he exchanged sexually explicit messages with multiple women while married.
00:31In his victory speech, Plattner acknowledged those controversies and told supporters he knows he still must rebuild their trust.
00:39And to any of those who feel let down or disappointed or disillusioned, it is my job to earn your
00:47trust, faith and support.
00:50And I will spend every day of this campaign. And if I have the privilege, every day in the United
00:56States Senate doing exactly that.
01:00Meanwhile, in South Carolina, Trump backed Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evitt is headed to a June 23rd runoff against Attorney General
01:08Alan Wilson after no candidate won a majority in the five way Republican field.
01:13Another Trump backed candidate, Senator Lindsey Graham, easily won his party's nomination.
01:19Democratic Congressman James Clyburn also cruised to victory in his primary.
01:23In Nevada, the Republican primary between retired Lieutenant Colonel David Filippo and former state Senator James Settlemyer remains too close
01:31to call.
