BOSTON (AP) — Attorney John Deaton has won a three-way Republican primary in Massachusetts to face off against incumbent U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Warren ran unopposed in Tuesday’s primary. Deaton, a former U.S. Marine and cryptocurrency attorney who was born in Detroit, announced earlier this year that he would vie for the chance to challenge Warren as she runs for her third term in office. Relatively unknown in Massachusetts politics, Deaton faces a steep climb against Warren. She is a former Harvard law professor who has twice won a Senate seat but came in third in Massachusetts in her 2020 bid for president. She remains popular in the heavily Democratic state. Deaton will face off against Warren in November.
