Roy Moore only gains 6.8% in the Alabama Senate primary.
Former Sen. Jeff Sessions and onetime Auburn University football coach Tommy Tuberville were neck and neck in the Republican primary race for the Senate on Tuesday night and will face off in a runoff election later this month, NBC News projects.
Tuberville had 33.4 percent and Sessions took 31.6 percent, with 99 percent reporting.
"I will fight for Alabama every day, and we will win the Republican nomination on March 31," Sessions told a crowd of supporters Tuesday night. He argued that he was a proven and vetted supporter of President Donald Trump and said Tuberville would be further vetted during the next phase of the race.
They are trailed by three-term GOP Rep. Bradley Byrne, who had 27.3 percent of the vote, while 6.8 percent of voters had cast ballots for Roy Moore, the 2018 Republican candidate, who lost amid allegations that he'd had improper sexual contact with young girls. Moore won't make the runoff, NBC News projects.
