Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) cruised to reelection on Tuesday over Republican opponent Jim Newberger (R).
She was widely expected to do so. Klobuchar held a consistently high lead over Newberger throughout the race.
The first female senator elected in Minnesota, Klobuchar has held her seat since 2006.{mosads}
As the ranking member of the Senate Rules Committee, Klobuchar has pursued issues including the influence of “dark money” contributions and election security.
She also had a memorable exchange with Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings, after which Kavanaugh apologized for taking a harsh tone with her.
