(AP)- In an unusual move, one of the Republican candidates for Wyoming U.S. Senate seat has withdrawn from the race.
Charlie Hardy withdrew has application for the Republican Party nomination on Monday afternoon, less than 24 hours before the polls opened Tuesday.
Hardy was one of five challengers seeking to unseat incumbent John Barrasso.
Hardy had switched his party affiliation after running unsuccessfully for the Senate in 2014 as a Democrat against Mike Enzi and advocated for policies that were far more liberal than other candidates.
In announcing his withdrawal, Hardy says he was endorsing Jackson businessman Dave Dodson for the job.
