Jeff Sessions Fails To Win GOP Nomination For His Old Senate Seat Outright

The battle to pick the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Alabama is headed to a March 31 runoff.

Jeff Sessions, President Donald Trump’s former attorney general who served as senator until 2017, will face former Auburn University football coach Tommy Tuberville.

Sessions should have been a shoo-in for his old seat. He represented the state in the Senate for 20 years before joining the Trump administration.

He was the first senator to endorse Trump, lending him establishment credibility and opening the doors to the political world during the 2016 election. Trump, in turn, rewarded him with a job as his attorney general.

1. Also, Roy Moore shall forfeit fair renown,

And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust, from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored, and unsung.

With thanks to Sir Walter Scott.

4. No mention of the actual numbers

I guess this is modern journalism - works well for Facebook because who cares about the actual numbers. More infotainment from Huffington post.

Edit to add. Here are the numbers:

Tommy Tuberville 33.4%
Jeff Sessions 31.6%
Bradley Byrne 25.2%
