JUST IN: Jeff Sessions will lose the Alabama Republican primary for his old Senate seat to Trump-backed Tommy Tuberville, CNN projects
Tuberville, who was endorsed by the President, will now advance to the general election as the Republican candidate set to take on incumbent Alabama Democratic Sen. Doug Jones in November. Jones, who pulled off an upset in the deep red state in a 2017 special election, is widely viewed as the most vulnerable Senate Democrat facing reelection in 2020. As a result, the race is likely to be the Republican Party's best pick-up opportunity of the cycle.
In ads, Sessions has worn the red"Make America Great Again" hat. He has also defended his recusal, saying that he"protected the rule of law" and contributed to Trump's"exoneration."Tuberville has repeated Trump's slogans like"drain the swamp" and"build the wall" while reminding potential supporters of his winning tenure at Auburn from 1999 to 2008.
