WASHINGTON — Former college football coach Tommy Tuberville bested Jeff Sessions in the Alabama Senate runoff Tuesday and will advance to the November general election where he’ll face the Democratic incumbent, Sen. Doug Jones.
Tuberville’s win is a victory for President Donald Trump, who backed the former Auburn University coach and railed against Sessions, his former attorney general.
Tuberville and Sessions led Alabama’s March primary, which resulted in a runoff because of state law.
