Republican U.S. Rep. Barry Moore defeats former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson in the Alabama GOP Senate runoff, CBS News projects and other outlets report. The race is held to select the Republican nominee to succeed Sen. Tommy Tuberville, whose term is ending. Moore, who is endorsed by President Donald Trump, advanced to the runoff after failing to win more than half of the vote in the earlier primary, as did Hudson, a political newcomer. The runoff is widely described as another test of Trump’s influence over Republican candidate outcomes, with several of his endorsed picks having performed strongly in earlier GOP primaries this year. Reported results show Moore and Hudson face each other directly after the first round did not produce an outright winner. With Moore projected as the winner, he will go on to the general election as the Republican nominee. A Democratic primary is also underway or has taken place, but these sources focus on the Republican runoff outcome.
