Key Points

    The Alabama Republican U.S. Senate primary is headed for a runoff, NBC News projected early Wednesday morning.

    Tuesday’s primary contest pitted former Alabama senator and Trump Attorney General Jeff Sessions against Rep. Bradley Byrne and political newcomer Tommy Tuberville, a former Auburn University football coach.

    Sessions and Tuberville will face each other in a runoff later this month. They finished as the top two candidates, and neither reached 50%.

Interesting, since a lot of us outside Alabama thought Sessions' biggest competitor was Roy Moore.  Guess I'm going to have to read up on this new guy.

Former Auburn football coach and political novice. Trump appears to be backing his campaign.

From the article, as updated:

Sessions and Tuberville will face each other in a runoff later this month. They finished as the top two candidates, and neither reached 50%. With 99% of the vote tallied by Wednesday morning, Tuberville had 33.4% and Sessions had 31.6%. Byrne ended up in third with 25.2%.

Disgraced former judge Roy Moore, who has been accused of sexual misconduct against teenage girls decades ago, netted 6.9%. ...
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
