Trump-backed U.S. Rep. Barry Moore battles ex-Navy SEAL Jared Hudson in GOP Senate runoff in Alabama

In Alabama, the GOP Senate runoff between Trump-endorsed Rep. Barry Moore and ex-Navy SEAL Jared Hudson is shaping up as another litmus test for the former president's political influence. Trump's endorsements have generally won out in Republican primaries this year, but this contest could reveal whether that trend holds. The outcome is crucial for both parties as it impacts the balance of power in the Senate, especially if Moore's victory solidifies Trump's sway or if Hudson's win signals a shift against the ex-president's clout.
