In Alabama, Sen. Doug Jones Kicks off 2020 Reelection Bid

Sunday, 08 September 2019 10:47 PM


U.S. Sen. Doug Jones, a Democrat who pulled off a stunning political upset in Alabama two years ago, launched his reelection bid Sunday, seeking to create another Deep South victory in a Republican-dominated state.

Before several hundred cheering supporters in Birmingham, Jones kicked off his 2020 campaign. Invoking the campaign theme of "One Alabama," Jones said he is a senator who represents all of Alabama and will fight for everyone in the state.

"The success of our state depends on engaging the power and the spirit and the intellect of our millions of citizens," Jones said. "No matter the zip code you live in, your race, your religion, your disability, your economic status — no matter who you love— we all want to succeed in a world where no one, no one is left behind," Jones said.

Let's see how well he does without a stubborn mule of a candidate who proves himself inept at defending himself against naked smears.

Let's see how well he does when the Republican candidate hangs his votes around his neck.
