Tommy Tuberville and President Trump were the winners in Tuesday’s Republican Senate primary runoff in Alabama.
thanks, in part, to an endorsement from the president. The Associated Press projected Tuberville as the winner in the election about 90 minutes after the polls closed in Alabama.
Tuberville -- who didn’t debate Sessions -- didn’t miss an opportunity to showcase Trump’s endorsement. Soon after AP called the race, the president tweeted that "Tuberville WON big against Jeff Sessions. Will be a GREAT Senator for the incredible people of Alabama." On Saturday, after Trump tweeted that “Jeff Sessions is a disaster who has let us all down. We don’t want him back in Washington!” – Sessions returned fire – calling Trump’s tweets “juvenile insults” and emphasizing that “Alabama does not take orders from Washington.”
And she emphasized that in a state where Trump remains extremely popular among Republicans, “Team Tuberville is going to be the beneficiary of that very, very, flawed mistake."In the 2017 special election to complete Session’s term as senator, the president endorsed and campaigned for appointed Sen. Luther Strange, who was defeated in the GOP primary by conservative firebrand Roy Moore.
