A recount in the Indiana state Senate primary has shifted the lead to Republican Paula Copenhaver, a Trump-backed challenger, who now holds a narrow three-vote advantage over incumbent State Sen. Spencer Deery.

Deery, trailing by just three votes, said he will appeal the recount results. The closely contested race highlights the competitive nature of the primary election.

The recount and subsequent appeal process are unfolding in the United States ahead of the upcoming general election cycle.
