No senator other than her former boss, Sen. Richard Shelby, has publicly endorsed Katie Britt yet. But she is quietly getting support from at least a half-dozen of Shelby’s Republican colleagues in her bid against Donald Trump’s pick in Alabama’s open Senate race.
Five Republican senators — Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) and Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) — have donated to Britt’s campaign from their leadership PACs. None of them have done so yet for GOP Rep. Mo Brooks, who Trump endorsed in April to replace the retiring Shelby (R-Ala.).
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), a Trump ally who won his seat in 2020 with Trump’s backing, attended a Wednesday night D.C. fundraiser for Britt, along with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) who served as the event’s “special guest,” according to the invitation.
“I like Katie a lot,” Graham told POLITICO on Thursday, noting he has known Britt since she worked for Shelby, and eventually became the senator’s chief of staff.
“In a party trying to grow demographically and pull more women in the party, that'd be a good thing. The people of Alabama will figure that out.”

And it's temporary too!
There is only one way that I know for voters to put a stop to this kind of thing, if they want to put a stop to it: take a boot and kick some incumbent political fanny good and hard. Let them eat their peas standing up for about a week and maybe they can pay attention to what voters sent them to Washington to do in the first place.
Look at some of the "recommended stories" on that site:

Katie Britt=RINO! This Alabamian won’t vote for her. (Also, we need fewer women in politics. We don’t need to be emoting our way along when we have serious problems with encroaching Federal authoritarianism.)
Yes, there are. I’m one.
This.
Then why aren’t you running?
Britt is the designated swamprat RINO.
My preference is Mike Durant in this race. I know it’s a long shot, but he’s the only outsider running.
I CERTAINLY HOPE SO!!!!!
Mo is a proven patriot who works very hard.
Who is the Broad that just has to come and spoil a good thing.
Darn some females.
I agree 1000 percent!!!
“... they’ll rig the game for Trump in 2024 ...”
for Trump or against Trump?
Crapo is up in ‘22. Deal with it Idaho.
Agreed. And the people supporting her proves that. I'm voting for Mo Brooks.
