Alabama voters will choose candidates for the U.S. Senate seat in the Democratic and Republican primary runoff elections on Tuesday. The winners will face each other in the general election on November 3.

Republican Runoff

U.S. Rep. Barry Moore and former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson are vying for the Republican nomination. Moore, who currently represents Alabama’s 1st congressional district, led Hudson in the primary with 39.2% of the vote. Moore has been endorsed by President Donald Trump, who called him an “America First Patriot”.

Hudson, a pro-Trump candidate, has committed to supporting deregulation and cutting taxes for workers and small businesses if elected to the Senate. Despite trailing Moore by more than 13 points in the primary, recent polling shows Hudson pulling ahead.

Democratic Runoff

Attorney Everett Wess and businessman Dakarai Larriett are competing for the Democratic nomination. Wess, who finished first in the Democratic primary with 39.6% of the vote, has framed his economic message around his upbringing as the son of a union shipyard worker and veteran.

Larriett, who finished 10.5 points behind Wess in the primary, has raised roughly double the amount of funds as Wess. Larriett has highlighted his second-place finish as a sign of momentum heading into the runoff.

The winners of the runoff elections will face each other in the general election, where they will compete for the U.S. Senate seat left open by Tommy Tuberville, who is forgoing reelection to pursue a bid for governor.
