Roby wins Alabama GOP runoff, overcoming blowback from Trump criticism
By Lisa Hagen - 07/17/18 09:31 PM EDT

Rep. Martha Roby is projected to win Alabama’s GOP primary runoff in the state’s 2nd District, overcoming the blowback from her past criticism of President Trump during the 2016 election after earning his endorsement.

Roby defeated former Rep. Bobby Bright, a Democrat-turned Republican whom she unseated in 2010. With less than half of precincts reporting, AP called the race around 9:30 p.m. ET, with Roby firmly leading Bright, 66 to 36 percent.

Roby was forced into the runoff with Bright after failing to clinch the 50 percent needed in the June GOP primary.

Great news!  Thanks @mystery-ak !

What's so great about her? She is a stupid idiot who ended up in this mess because she has no idea what she is talking about and voters hated her. I think there were something like 30K write ins against her last time she ran.
