Trump-Backed Barry Moore Wins GOP Primary Runoff in Alabama Senate Race

In a pivotal GOP primary runoff in Alabama, Rep. Barry Moore, endorsed by former President Trump, secured victory against his challenger, ex-Navy SEAL Jared Hudson. This win positions Moore as the Republican nominee to replace Tommy Tuberville in the U.S. Senate. Voter turnout was notably low, with only one in ten participating, raising concerns about electoral engagement in the state. Meanwhile, Democratic candidates are focusing on economic issues, as the results shape the political landscape in Alabama heading into the midterms.
