Former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions lost the Republican nomination for his old Senate seat in Alabama to former college football coach Tommy Tuberville, likely ending a long political career with a bitter defeat egged on by President Donald Trump.
Tuberville, 65, beat Sessions in Tuesday’s Republican runoff as Sessions fell short in his attempted comeback for a seat he held for two decades before resigning to become Trump’s attorney general in 2017.
Familiar to Alabamians from his decade as Auburn University’s head football coach, Tuberville is now positioned for a strong challenge against Democratic U.S. Sen. Doug Jones. With Alabama’s strong GOP tilt, the seat is widely viewed as Republicans’ best chance for a pickup as they try to maintain their thin Senate majority amid Trump’s lagging popularity nationally.

At least Jeff won’t have to recuse himself now.

I wonder if he can defeat Jones. People in AL can be subject to late election campaign “surprises.”

Tuberville is beating Sessions quite handily. I guess the Trump endorsement meant something in this race.

Good riddance Jeff. You are a nice guy and right on the issues but were a horseshit AG who cost president Trump 3 years of grief due to your cowardice, Find a nice Alabama bass lake.

Poor poor Jeff, finally had his recompense for his dastardly recusal. I feel for the guy but his wimpish recusal set the stage for Trump's troubles. Good bye Jeff, you will not be missed. Hope Tubby can beat Jones.

Wait until the dems concoct a whole bunch of whoring around by Tuberville. It’s coming,

It could be that the runoff voters were voting against Sessions, rather than for Tuberville, who is something of a Moderate Republican.
To: Helicondelta
Thank goodness for that...

Down goes Sessions Down goes SessionsSO HAPPY TO SEE THIS.
Congratulations, President Trump!

Well, Jones got the opponent he wanted in #AmnestyTommy.
In a year or two, everyone on this site will be attacking this RINO.
