Trump-endorsed Rep. Barry Moore wins GOP primary runoff in Alabama Senate race
Trump’s January endorsement helped Moore overcome a crowded field and keep Alabama’s open Senate seat in Republican hands, AP said.
- On Tuesday, Republican Alabama Rep. Barry Moore defeated Navy SEAL veteran Jared Hudson in the GOP Senate runoff, advancing to November's general election after receiving an endorsement from President Donald Trump.
- Hudson forced a competitive runoff by attacking Moore's Washington ties, positioning the race as a test of Trump's endorsement power following mixed results in other Republican primaries this year.
- Touting his relationship with the president, Moore stated, "When I call him, he takes my calls," while Hudson campaigned as an outsider, urging voters to "send a warrior to Washington."
- Moore advances to the general election, where he will face Democrat Phillip Ensler in November, positioning Republicans to retain the seat as Democrats seek state gains.
- The seat remains open as incumbent Sen. Tommy Tuberville departs after one term to run for governor, leaving the Republican Party well-positioned to retain the Senate seat in November.
