Former Judge Everett Wess Wins Democratic Senate Nomination in Alabama
Former Judge Everett Wess has won the Democratic Senate nomination in Alabama. He defeated small business owner Dakarai Larriett in Tuesday's runoff election.
Wess and Larriett finished first and second in last month's primary among four candidates. No one received more than 50 percent of the vote, so the two advanced to the runoff.
Wess will face Republican Rep. Barry Moore in the general election. Moore, backed by President Donald Trump, defeated former Navy SEAL sniper Jared Hudson in the GOP runoff on Tuesday.
The race is to succeed Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who is running for governor instead of seeking re-election. Other than former Democratic Sen. Doug Jones' 2017 special election win, no Democrat has captured an Alabama Senate seat in more than three decades.
