Alabama Senate Primary Runoff Tests Trump’s Influence on GOP

What happened: In Alabama's Senate primary runoff, Representative Barry Moore, an early Trump supporter, competes against Jared Hudson, a former Navy SEAL appealing to outsider voters.

Why it matters:

  • The race gauges former President Trump's continuing sway over Republican voters in Alabama.
  • The outcome could shape the GOP's direction and candidate selection ahead of the general election.

MNN Take: This runoff highlights ongoing divisions within the Republican Party between established Trump allies and candidates promoting outsider credentials.
