Republican voters in Alabama selected Katie Britt as their nominee for Senate in a runoff primary election, after receiving the endorsement of former President Donald Trump, according to the Associated Press.
Polls closed Tuesday in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia and Virginia, as well as in the District of Columbia. The most-watched race was in Alabama between Ms. Britt, the former chief of staff to retiring Sen. Richard Shelby (R., Ala.), and Rep. Mo Brooks (R., Ala.), a member of a group of the chamber’s most conservative Republicans, the House Freedom Caucus. The two advanced to a head-to-head matchup after Alabama’s May 24 primary, when none of the six GOP Senate candidates in that contest earned a majority.
