Rep. Barry Moore is projected to win the Republican runoff for Senate in Alabama, securing another victory for President Trump's endorsed candidates this primary cycle. Moore defeated U.S. Navy SEAL Jared Hudson, after neither candidate secured a majority in the initial May primary. Moore, who currently represents Alabama's 1st Congressional district, was endorsed by Trump and is seen as the likely successor to Sen. Tommy Tuberville. Polling prior to the runoff indicated Hudson held a nearly 10-point lead, and a May poll suggested Trump's endorsement was not decisive for many Alabama voters. The race also saw significant financial backing from the crypto industry, with the Defend American Jobs PAC spending over $12 million to support Moore's campaign. Moore is considered a strong favorite to win the general election for the solidly Republican seat.
