The clash between Katie Britt and Rep. Mo Brooks in the Alabama GOP Senate primary offers another test of Trump's endorsement.
between Katie Britt, a former top aide to Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., and Rep. Mo Brooks — the top two vote-getters last month in the first round of the primary.
Trump had initially backed Brooks, once a staunch loyalist, but withdrew the endorsement after he dropped in polls. Trump cited Brooks’ desire to “move on” from the 2020 election that he continues to falsely say he won., who like Brooks has embraced his baseless claims of election fraud. A Britt win would be another victory for Trump on a revenge tour that last week brought him a split result in South Carolina after a string of losses in Georgia last month.
“There was not a single person I talked to or a single door I knocked on where someone wanted to talk about the January 6th commission,” Kigganswhile greeting voters at a polling site Tuesday. “They want to talk about gas prices and grocery prices and the economy, the economy, the economy. They want to know what we’re going to do to lower gas prices, which really affects the price of everything.”. Others competing in the primary include Tommy Altman, Andy Baan and Jarome Bell.
