Trump-Backed Moore and Hudson Head to Alabama GOP Senate Runoff

In Alabama’s GOP Senate primary, Rep. Barry Moore and former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson advanced to a June 16 runoff after Hudson’s late surge toppled Attorney General Steve Marshall. Moore had Trump’s early endorsement and support from influential GOP groups, while Hudson gained momentum with Trump’s backing, helping him overtake Marshall in polling. The open seat follows Tommy Tuberville’s decision to run for governor, and Tuberville has not endorsed in the race. The runoff will determine who carries the GOP banner to Washington.
