Alabama is an interesting state. It passed one of the most anti-abortion laws in the country, while also passing a gas tax. It has a Democratic senator filling the remainder of Sen. Jeff Sessions’ term, who resigned to become President Trump’s attorney general. He was fired a day after the 2018 midterms. Okay—for all those who are picky, he was asked to submit his resignation at the president’s request. Democrat Doug Jones won the 2017 special election, no thanks to Republican Roy Moore’s past allegation of sexual misconduct. Some of the victims were under the age of 18 at the time. That race was a disaster. And we could be hitting the iceberg again.
Make no mistake this seat should be heavily favored for the GOP in 2020. Jones won because Moore was a trash candidate. This race is ripe for the GOP to retake it. There aren’t many seats up for grabs on the 2020 Senate election map. Most of the states where Democrats are defending are deep blue states. For Jones, he doesn’t need to etch his political epitaph because Moore is going to run again (via AP):
Alabama Republican Roy Moore announced Thursday that he is running for U.S. Senate again in 2020 after failing to win the seat two years ago amid sexual misconduct accusations.
With his return to the political stage, Moore faces a crowded GOP primary field as he aims for an eventual rematch against Democratic Sen. Doug Jones, who bested him in the 2017 special election to fill the seat previously held by Jeff Sessions.
“I believe in America. I believe we’ve got to have politicians that go to Washington and do what they say,†Moore said during his announcement.
