The former attorney general will face football coach Tommy Tuberville on March 31.
Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions will face former Auburn University football coach Tommy Tuberville in a runoff for the Alabama GOP Senate nomination after they finished in the top two spots in Tuesday’s primary.
Tuberville had 33 percent of the vote and Sessions had 31 percent with 75 percent of precincts reporting when The Associated Press called the race. They defeated a handful of other candidates, including Rep. Bradley Byrne, who came in third place, and Roy Moore, the controversial judge who lost a 2017 special election and finished a distant fourth Tuesday.

Odd since most of us outside of Alabama thought Moore would be Sessions’ biggest competitor.
There’s a rumor going around that Mr. Tuberville has Trump’s backing which may be why this political novice could very well win the seat.
