Barry Moore wins Alabama Senate GOP runoff
President Donald Trump endorsed Moore in January, months before the May primary, but the support was not enough to help Moore clear the field entirely. He advanced to the runoff as the top vote-getter, but Attorney General Steve Marshall siphoned nearly a quarter of the vote, denying Moore the outright win.
In a sign of the potential competitiveness of the race, Trump proceeded to boost Moore’s endorsement on social media five additional times, including a video endorsement of the congressman the day before the May primary. Moore was the first elected official in the country to publicly back Trump, which occurred at an August 2015 rally in Mobile.
Trump also hosted a tele-rally late last week for the congressman.

In the end, the result was not close, and the Trump-backed effort proved enough to deny Hudson an upset against Moore. The congressman ran ads highlighting his past career as a waste removal small-business owner, a staple of his previous campaigns for Congress.
Trump won the Yellowhammer State by 30 points in 2024, meaning Moore will be the significant favorite in November.
