JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Chris McDaniel is evoking a big Mississippi political name as he tries to revive his challenge in a U.S. Senate race - current state House Speaker Philip Gunn.
McDaniel lost to Sen. Thad Cochran in the June 24 Republican primary.
Now, he's asking the state Supreme Court to give him a second chance on a lawsuit seeking to overturn Cochran's victory. Justices hear oral arguments Oct. 2.
In a legal brief Thursday, McDaniel says Gunn waited 34 days to challenge a 2003 Republican primary loss to incumbent Rep. Jep Barbour. Gunn won the court challenge and the election.
In dismissing McDaniel's lawsuit, a judge said McDaniel missed a 20-day deadline to challenge the primary loss.
