Tommy Tuberville in 2007 via Wikipedia<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

In an update to the Alabama Senate<\/a> race, Senator Doug Jones’ (D) Republican challengers, former Senator Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III and former Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville, more or less\u00a0split the primary vote<\/a>, 33% to 32% in Tuberville’s favor. This does not make Tuberville the Republican nominee; he would have had to win 50% or more of the vote for that. Instead, the other challengers are removed from the race, and a runoff will occur March 31.<\/p>\n

If the campaigning becomes bitter, it’s possible the Republican Party will be riven with recriminations, permitting Jones to retain his seat. It would appear that President Trump has decided to make this a bit bitter:<\/p>\n

This is what happens to someone who loyally gets appointed Attorney General of the United States & then doesn\u2019t have the wisdom or courage to stare down & end the phony Russia Witch Hunt. Recuses himself on FIRST DAY in office, and the Mueller Scam begins! https:\/\/t.co\/2jGnRgOS6h<\/a><\/p>\n
