FILE - In this March 3, 2020, file photo, Alabama U.S. Senate candidate Tommy Tuberville speaks to his supporters at Auburn Oaks Farm in Notasulga, Ala. Former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Tuberville face off in Tuesday's Republican primary runoff for Sessions' former Senate seat.
Familiar to Alabamians from his decade as Auburn University’s head football coach, Tuberville is now positioned for a robust challenge against Democratic U.S. Sen. Doug Jones. With Alabama’s strong GOP tilt, the seat is widely viewed as Republicans’ best chance for a pickup as they try to maintain their thin Senate majority amid Trump’s lagging popularity nationally.
But it wasn’t enough to overcome dynamics that Tuberville willingly embraced. Boosted by both Trump’s endorsement and name recognition from his coaching tenure, Tuberville positioned himself as a political outsider and capitalized on the president’s criticisms of Sessions.“Jeff Sessions was a disaster It’s time to send a message to Jeff Sessions that President Trump does not want him or his cronies in the swamp” Tuberville wrote on Twitter.
When he wasn’t defending his loyalty to the president, Sessions tried to focus on his long history in office and questions about Tuberville’s background.Sessions, once Alabama attorney general and a U.S. attorney under President Ronald Reagan, was elected to the Senate in 1996. He was just the second elected Republican senator from Alabama since the end of post-Civil War Reconstruction.
Another no nothing republican...trumphian
Yes!
ETTD
Bye bye sessions, you were only a rear end kisser anyway.
Wow the picture of tommy coming out raising his hand saluting the Nazis or white power is chilling.....
Sessions did it to himself. He screwed over the President and the American people when he recused himself. And if he felt he had to recuse himself, he should never have taken the job of AG. SelfServing.
jeffsessions guess Alabama told you what they think of you and what you did to Trump. ROTFLMAO. TRAITOR, JUST AS BAD AS THE BUSH'S and the Dem party!
Congrats to Doug Jones on winning the election
TrustSessions
jeffsessions GOP and Alabama rejected you .
Now we know who to go after - the Trumper! TrumpCollaborators
That's great news !!
Sessions found out just like Cohen. Trump is radioactive, get to close rot or die.
LOL....this is the final insult for Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III.
I look forward to Mr. Potatotown's November defeat.
A football coach winning in AL. What a joke. Republicans love people who aren't qualified for public office...
Well Jeff, when all else fails, write a book.😉
Jesus another Southern Republican, bye-bye women’s rights for that State
I feel so bad for Jef😆😂😂🤣🤣🤣
C’mon DougJonesHQ You have to win🇺🇸
Yay another old white guy!!
Jeff had conscious. People with conscience and integrity don’t belong in the GOP. Their focus and efforts have been to enlarge the class divide by spreading lies to provide SOCIALISM for the WEALTHY while taking away basic needs and healthcare from people to keep them oppressed.
I bet this MFer wishes now that he never left the senate to become a trumpster cabinet member...oh well
When is this country going to stop electing old white men
This article is sickening. What is going on in Alabama? The only 2 real Republican options are both DT Senior fanatics?
It's hard to imagine someone could be worse than JeffSession until TTuberville crawled out of the sewer. At least Sessions had some form of ethics. Alabama is the most poorly educated state in the country.

Wait for administration to try to hide Covid data!
I’m guessing howdy duty’s not very happy now. Ya know where he screwed up.... he sided with the snake and got bit. So long sessions
Jeff Session’s stock fell so hard
Doug Jones is out, no matter who
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Sessions is the poster boy of what happens when you associate with Trump..... he’s not Attorney General or Senator he’s out
I never in my life seen a more pitiful man... I'm sorry tedcruz is a tie. They both let another man emasculate them in front of their family, friends and still bent over and kiss the ring
How does it say 🤔🤔... Uh!!! Karma is a bitch, baby 😷. Disclose note: I am not saying the winner is better🤓
Wish I could retire and enjoy relaxing the rest of my days. Some people have all the luck🤷♀️
Holy f*ckyaaaaaas
Football coaches make great politicians😏
What’s the right wing equivalent of go woke to broke?
Great news for Doug Jones. He will beat Tuberville.
Tough choice for Republicans. A racist or a Trumper.
Too bad for any Dem
People are tired of this shyt!
And he'll beat Jones
Ok. Go Republicans
Oh, snap!
Thoughts and prayers, Jeff.
What’s the phrase? Everything Trump Touches Dies ETTD
