Tennessee Rep. Jim Cooper wins primary
Rep. Jim Cooper won the Democratic primary in Tennessee’s 5th District on Thursday as he looks to clinch his 16th term in November.
Cooper led with 56 percent of the vote after 52 percent of precincts had reported, according to the Associated Press.
Cooper, a Blue Dog democrat, prevailed over Keeda Haynes, a former public defender who would have been the first black congresswoman from the state, and small business owner Joshua Rawlings.
