BREAKING: Tommy Tuberville defeats Jeff Sessions in Alabama Republican Senate runoff
MONTGOMERY – Alabama Republicans Tuesday night decided to send former Auburn head football coach Tommy Tuberville to face U.S. Sen Doug Jones in November.
Sessions has repeatedly said he was following ethical and legal guidance from the U.S. Department of Justice at the time. But the move enraged Trump, who attacked Sessions before and after he forced him out as U.S. attorney general in November 2018.“Jeff, you had your chance & you blew it,” Trump wrote in a tweet on May 23. “Recused yourself ON DAY ONE , and ran for the hills. You had no courage, & ruined many lived.
Catherine Crawford, a retired teacher from Montgomery, voted for Tuberville, in part because of Trump's criticism of Sessions.
