President Donald Trump has reiterated his endorsement of Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL) for the upcoming Alabama Senate seat, as Moore prepares for a runoff primary against Jared Hudson. The election is particularly significant as it opens for the midterm elections, following Sen. Tommy Tuberville's (R-AL) nomination for the gubernatorial race. Moore, a freshman member of the conservative Freedom Caucus, previously garnered 39.2% of the vote in the May GOP primary, while Hudson, a former Navy SEAL, secured 25.6%. Polls indicate a competitive race, with one pro-Hudson poll showing him leading by one point, contrasting with a Club for Growth poll that gives Moore a 17-point advantage. The candidates differ on the Senate filibuster, with Moore advocating for its elimination to pass Trump's SAVE Act, while Hudson suggests reforming it to a talking filibuster.
