Republican candidate Barry Moore wins the Alabama GOP Senate primary, according to reporting that ties the outcome to substantial spending by a political action committee connected to the crypto industry. One report says Moore, described as a Trump loyalist, receives the most crypto-related funding of any candidate so far in the current midterm cycle and that the primary result represents a major win for the industry’s political efforts. Another outlet reports that Defend American Jobs, a group backing Moore, holds a reported $12 million stake in the Alabama Senate primary runoff and supports him through large media buys. That reporting describes Defend American Jobs spending $7.4 million on advertising ahead of Alabama’s May 20 primary and an additional $4.7 million before Tuesday’s runoffs. The two accounts collectively indicate that Moore’s campaign benefits from significant outside expenditures tied to crypto-related political activity, while the primary victory is recorded as the immediate electoral outcome in Alabama’s Republican Senate contest.
