U.S. Senator Bob Corker is seen in this file photo.Incumbent U.S. Sen. Bob Corker secured an early victory on Tuesday evening, as the Tennessee Senator faced off against more than half a dozen challengers.
Corker led Democrat Mark Clayton by a wide margin, as the Associated Press called the race in Corker's favor with less than one percent of all precincts were reporting.
The race was not expected to be close, as Clayton has been disavowed by his own party for what some have called extreme views and ties to hate groups.
