This win is especially meaningful to Britt, the daughter of a retired boat salesman, who was given little chance of winning early on.
But by the May primary Britt had enough momentum to finish first among a field of six Republican candidates, not counting candidates who had dropped out amid dismal poll standings.
A few weeks later she polished off Congressman Mo Brooks, the early frontrunner, who slipped when former President Trump rescinded his support that ultimately went to Britt.While Britt becomes the only woman elected to the Senate, she is not the first to hold the powerful position.Britt was opposed on Tuesday by Democrat Will Boyd and Libertarian John Sophocleus.
