Its now official. Former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions is a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Alabama, a seat he once occupied prior to going to serve in President Donald Trumps administration in 2017.
Earlier in the evening, Sessions campaign website went live, and he published his first campaign video, which was featured in his announcement on Fox News Channels Tucker Carlson Tonight.
During that appearance, Sessions addressed his desire to run and his falling out with Trump. Sessions told Carlson that he hoped to have an opportunity to discuss his campaign with Trump.

This in my world anyway was the big political news yesterday. This shuts down any Drama in that race and ensures Doug Jones is sent packing.
GOP +1 in the senate.
Actually, it starts the drama of a divisive GOP primary. Just read the comments here. Many folks are not prepared to forgive and forget Sessions betrayal of POTUS and us. Especially given that he is totally unrepentant and unwilling to publicly admit the damage to the MAGA agenda he caused as AG.
Sessions will likely win but only after being severely wounded by a bruising primary. This is a campaign season present to the Dems gift wrapped from Sessions and McConnnell.
He was a decent Senator - just too wimpy to be a good AG...the second President Trump endorses him, I’ll send a contribution to his campaign.
Sorry but it not a national race, Sessions will win the primary in Alabama handily and take the seat by double digits.
Anyone who thinks otherwise has likely never set a foot in Alabama.
Agree.
Laura Ingraham endorsed Sessions? Say it ain't so, Joe!

Have a look at Fake News. They are loving this today.
A 20 year Senator winning a GOP primary by only “double digits” would be an embarrassment. Thankfully, it seems unlikely Senator Shelby and the GOPe will be campaigning for progressive Democrat Doug Jones again. Interestingly, this Senate seat was not “must have” for the GOP when the previous GOP candidate was on the ballot.
If Sessions gets the nomination, that could very well happen as hundreds of thousands of Alabama conservatives go fishing on Election Day.

I don’t know who your supplier is, but you really, really need to get off of whatever it is you are on.
Sessions is going to handily take this seat, and all drama that was possible down there, like last time, that let Jones sneak in is effectively done.
As I said if you think Sessions won’t take this seat handily you have never set foot in Alabama.
If you believe that you have likely never set one foot in Alabama.
Session will win this race handily... him being in ends all the possible stupid drama that went on a fews years back that let Doug Jones get in.
Sessions is part of the deep state. His last 3 years demonstrates this. If he gets in they will call it a bipartisan effort to impeach. They will keep trying to impeach into Trumps next term.
Sessions has been and still is a deep state plant. If he wasn’t, we wouldn’t be having this divided conversation now.
They are fools... their mind is made up, don’t confuse them with facts.
So the Romney/Collins//Sasse/Burr/Graham faction in the Senate will get another member.
Trump Enemy?
You do realize that Bannon and Sessions worked together in a big big way to get Trump elected right?
While I don’t think Session was a great AG, that doesn’t make him an enemy of Trump.
People really, really need to get either on or off their meds.
Sessions has a 84% LIFETIME Rating by FreedomWorks. He was the First major politician to endorse Trump... he and Bannon helped to kill Amnesty before Trump when Ryan and Cantor and Rubio et al were all trying to get it done.
People really need to get better informed. Trump has enemies, but hardly is Sessions one of them.

As I said if you think Sessions wont take this seat handily you have never set foot in Alabama.
The facts speak for themselves:
1)POTUS released a Fire Sessions trial balloon. Jeff’s buddies the in GOP Senate threatened POUTUS not do that.
2)POTUS fired him the day after the midterms
3)POTUS said Sessions was his worst mistake.
Sessions took the partisan “advice” of the Democrats in the DOJ ethics office and recused himself. When Sessions had a real chance to substantively advance the MAGA agenda as AG he went AWOL and allowed Mueller’s police state campaign of terror against POTUS and his supporters.
We need lions and Jeff Sessions is a lamb.
I spend time every year in Mobile. I have no doubt Sessions will win given the apparent support he has among sunshine pumping low info conservative voters. I also have no doubt he plays for Team McConnell and not Team MAGA.
You are an abject fool.
Get yourself informed, because your ignorance is astounding.
Who was the first major politician to endorse Trump?
Who helped squash amnesty even before Trump was even on the radar? When Cantor, and Ryan and Rubio and the rest were all pushing for it?
Who was talking and fighting to halt immigration when Trump was still just a developer in NYC?
Sessions was a great Senator, He wasn’t a great AG, but he was hardly Trump’s enemy.
He’s got an 84% lifetime rating by FreedomWorks for God’s sake.
Stop the nonsense, and get better informed and stop knee jerk reacting.
Please, get yourself informed.
Sessions has an 84% lifetime rating with FreedomWorks
He helped squash amnesty back before Trump was even around, when Cantor, Ryan, Rubio et al were all pushing it. He helped to get Cantor out of Office. He worked with Bannon to help get Trump in the White House and was the first major politician to endorse Trump.
Want to speak to facts, get your facts right.
Sessions was a great Senator and far more reliably conservative than 95% of those in the White House... he was one of the Few who didn’t embrace the Ryan/Cantor/Rubio/Cruz amnesty crap in the Obama years, and actively worked with Bannon to kill it, and get Cantor voted out over it.
Sessions may not have been the greatest AG, but he hardly is some enemy of Trump.
You really, really, really need to get a bit more informed.
Folks here trying to equate Sessions with Collins or Romney et al is just wholesale stupid.
Sessions will win this seat handily, all the drama and lunacy that went on down there that let Jones get in will be gone, and if you think Sessions is a net negative to Trump, then you are just wholesale ignorant.

That’s nice. At one time Sessions was my favorite senator, too. But he went on Tucker last night and spoke of the ongoing Deep State coup against POTUS in the past tense! How is that helpful to President Trump?
I would have been happy to reconsider my position on Sessions had he come out last night and lit rockets under Graham, Burr and McConnell to engage the Democrats and their Deep State coupist allies. He did just the opposite and was dismissive of the impeachment of Trump. That’s not a MAGA warrior there. That’s a gum flapping beltway lifer running from a fight with Democrats.
It seems I have the facts and you don’t. Sorry. You might want to do you homework before tossing insults about.
