6 OUTLETS
Barry Moore Wins Alabama Republican Senate Runoff

Trump-endorsed Rep. Barry Moore won Alabama’s Republican Senate runoff. Left-leaning outlets emphasize loyalty versus outsider appeal while treating the race as a test of Trump’s influence. Center outlets also describe it as a test of his influence, in more matter-of-fact coverage that includes other primary results. Right-leaning outlets extend the test to endorsements in multiple contests, spanning previews and election-night results.
