BIRMINGHAM, Alabama Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the first senator to endorse Donald Trump in 2016, heads into Tuesdays Republican primary for his old Alabama Senate seat without the approval of the president.
Trump hasnt given an endorsement in the race, but hes been a constant presence as the candidates claw at each other over who is the most loyal to the president.
Though Sessions, 73, held the seat for two decades before resigning to join the Trump administration, he is far from running away with the nomination.
Sessionss tenure at the Justice Department was dogged by attacks from Trump, stemming from the attorney generals recusal from overseeing the Russia investigation. His own stardom has faded in a state where Trump is wildly popular, according to tea party activist Pete Riehm, who considers Sessions a friend.
