Alabama Senate Race: Democrat Wins Nomination in Deep Red State, Faces Uphill Battle Against Trump-Backed Republican

Former Judge Everett Wess has secured the Democratic Senate nomination in deeply conservative Alabama. This sets the stage for a daunting midterm challenge against the Republican nominee.

Wess emerged victorious from a runoff election against small business owner Dakarai Larriett. The initial primary saw no candidate secure a majority, forcing this head-to-head contest.
