NASHVILLE (AP) - Incumbent Bob Corker has defeated four challengers to win the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate.

Complete Election Results

The former Chattanooga mayor faced a much easier time in his re-election bid than he did when he ran in 2006. Then he had a tough primary against two former congressmen and narrowly defeated former Democratic Rep. Harold Ford Jr. in the even more bruising general election campaign.

With 0.2% of precincts reporting, Corker had 47,292 votes, or 85%, compared with 2,754 for his nearest challenger Zach Poskevich, or 5%.

Seven little-known Democrats were vying for the nomination to face Corker in the general election.

In the most recent financial disclosures, Corker had more than $6 million remaining, while no other challenger had more than $19,000.

The toughest primary contests for the U.S. House were waged in the districts of freshman Reps. Diane Black and Chuck Fleischmann.
