He wasn’t on the ballot, but President Donald Trump is a winner in the Republican Senate runoff election in Alabama, as the candidate he endorsed captured the GOP nomination.
Trump-backed Rep. Barry Moore defeated rival Jared Hudson, a former Navy SEAL sniper, in Tuesday’s Republican showdown for the GOP nomination in solidly red Alabama, the Associated Press reports.
Moore and Hudson were the top two finishers in last month’s Republican primary, but with no candidate topping 50% of the vote, they both advanced to the runoff.

Moore, who was also endorsed by Vice President JD Vance and Senate Majority Leader Sen. John Thune, will now be considered the clear frontrunner in the race to succeed Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who is running for governor this year rather than seeking re-election to the Senate.
The congressman, who founded a waste hauling company and later served as a state lawmaker before first winning election to the U.S. House in 2020, was one of the first politicians to endorse Trump in 2015 when the president first ran for the White House.

Moore, who represents Alabama’s 1st Congressional District, in the southern portion of southeastern state, is a member of the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus.
Hudson, running as an outsider, edged out state Attorney General Steve Marshall to advance to the runoff.
Besides being a combat veteran, Hudson has served as a sheriff’s deputy, firefighter, small business owner and current head of a nonprofit that trains law enforcement in taking out human traffickers.
Hudson was endorsed by then-Sen. Markwayne Mullin, who is now Trump’s Department of Homeland Security secretary, Sen. Tim Sheehy, the National Association for Gun Rights PAC, and conservative activists and media star Riley Gaines.
But Hudson fell short against Moore, who will face off in November against either Dakarai Larriett, a petcare business owner, or attorney and former judge Everett Wess.
