The Associated Press called the race in favor of Banks at 7 p.m., defeating Democratic nominee Valerie McCray. Banks secured 62.6% of the vote as 14% of votes have been counted.
Banks has been the front-runner in the U.S. Senate race after Donald Trump gave his endorsement. He sat alongside Trump and JD Vance at the Republican National Convention.
