Tuberville tops Sessions
WASHINGTON – On a night of elections across several states, it was a runoff election that took center stage.
Political newcomer and former Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville beat out Jeff Sessions in the Alabama Senate Republican primary runoff Tuesday for Sessions old Senate seat. Tuberville’s win showcases President Donald Trump’s influence on down ballot races for Republicans.
Ahead of the primary, Trump endorsed Tuberville and repeatedly bashed Sessions, calling him a “disaster” and saying he “made a mistake” by appointing Sessions as attorney general.
The feud between Sessions and Trump began in spring 2017 after Sessions recused himself from overseeing the Justice Department's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. His recusal led to Robert Mueller being appointed special counsel and a nearly two-year probe that clouded Trump's first years in office.

No Sessions fan but this Tuberville guy sounds like a real peace of work. Guess I need to make a donation to Doug Jones' campaign.
