Rep. Barry Moore defeated Jared Hudson in Alabama’s Republican Senate runoff, securing the party’s nomination. Moore had endorsements from President Donald Trump and other Republicans and is set to face a Democratic candidate in November.
Moore defeated Hudson in Tuesday’s runoff after both advanced from the Republican primary, where neither candidate received more than half the vote. Moore was endorsed by Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance and Senate Majority Leader John Thune; Hudson had backing from several Republicans and conservative groups.
Moore is expected to be the frontrunner in the race to succeed Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who is running for governor instead of seeking reelection. Moore will face either Dakarai Larriett or Everett Wess in November.
