Trump-backed US Rep. Barry Moore battles ex-Navy SEAL Jared Hudson in GOP Senate runoff in Alabama
Moore won the Republican runoff after leading the first round with nearly 40% of the vote, and Trump-backed spending helped shape the race.
- On Tuesday, Alabama voters head to the polls in a Republican runoff election between U.S. Rep. Barry Moore and former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson for the party's nomination for the open U.S. Senate seat.
- Moore secured nearly 40% of the vote in May compared to Hudson's 25%, and President Trump endorsed him as the "best America First candidate." Hudson attacked Moore over his Washington ties during a May forum.
- Hudson frames himself as an outsider, urging voters to "send a warrior to Washington" rather than a career politician. Moore counters by emphasizing his conservative voting record and status as an ally of the president.
- Competitive runoffs for attorney general and lieutenant governor also appear on Tuesday's ballot. Secretary of State Wes Allen and former Alabama Republican Party Chairman John Wahl are battling for the GOP lieutenant governor nomination.
- Polls show the Senate race remains tight, with the Republican nominee advancing to November to compete for the seat held by Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who is running for governor.
