McMahon Lays Smackdown to Win GOP Senate Nomination


Linda McMahon, the former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, was the last woman standing Tuesday in a battle royal – this time in the political arena.

McMahon won the GOP primary in Connecticut, crushing money manager
Peter Schiff and former Rep. Rob Simmons, the one-time favorite who suspended his campaign months ago but recently ran an ad reminding voters his name remained on the ballot.

McMahon will face State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who was unopposed for the Democrats' Senate nomination, in November to succeed retiring Chris Dodd, also a Democrat.

"Tonight, I am honored to have earned the support of Republicans around Connecticut," McMahon said in her victory speech, adding that she will be a voice of change.
