Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced on Thursday that he is jumping into the race for his old Senate seat in Alabama — despite warnings from allies of President Donald Trump that he should sit out the election.

Sessions, who was the first senator to endorse Trump's campaign, suffered a huge falling out with the president over his decision to recuse himself from the federal probe into Russia's involvement in the 2016 election. Trump has said naming Sessions as attorney general was the "biggest mistake" of his presidency, and he has called his leadership of the Justice Department "a total joke."

Sessions resigned at Trump's request exactly one year ago.

In a statement posted to his campaign website, he offered effusive praise of the president despite their rift.

4. Trump would honestly prefer to see AOC as Alabama's Senator than Jeff Sessions, given

the depth of his hate for him.

5. They are so stupid down here that they will elect him.

I can only hope they all eat each other.
