In the Republican Senate runoff election in Alabama, Rep. Barry Moore secured the GOP nomination, having received the endorsement of former President Donald Trump. Moore defeated Jared Hudson, a former Navy SEAL sniper, in the runoff held on Tuesday. Both candidates advanced to the runoff after neither received more than 50% of the votes in last month's primary election. Moore, who has also been endorsed by Vice President JD Vance and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, is now considered the frontrunner to succeed Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who is not seeking re-election as he runs for governor. Moore previously founded a waste hauling company and has served as a state lawmaker before being elected to the U.S. House in 2020. Hudson, who was endorsed by several notable figures including former Sen. Markwayne Mullin and Sen. Tim Sheehy, will not advance further in the race. Moore is set to face either Dakarai Larriett, a petcare business owner, or attorney and former judge Everett Wess in the general election in November.
