Alabama Republican Senate hopeful Tommy Tuberville awaits primary runoff results on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Former Auburn University football coach Tommy Tuberville defeated ex-US Attorney General Jeff Sessions in Tuesday night\u2019s runoff for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate. <\/p>\n

Tuberville, who was making his first run for public office, will face Democrat Doug Jones in November.<\/p>\n

The Associated Press called the race at 8:19 p.m., a little more than an hour after polls closed. With 774 of 2,281 precincts reporting, unofficial results show Tuberville garnered 88,015 votes \u2013 or 62% – to Sessions\u2019 53,277 or 38%.<\/p>\n

The race pitted Tuberville \u2013 who was backed by President Donald Trump \u2013 vs. Sessions, who left the Senate before being named the Trump administration\u2019s Attorney General in 2017. Sessions resigned a year later after fall out with Trump over the AG\u2019s decision to recuse himself from the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.<\/p>\n

Sessions defended his decision while on the campaign trail.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, I don\u2019t focus on regrets,\u201d Sessions said. <\/a>\u201cI say my prayers and try to do the right thing. I think Donald Trump has been a president who has advanced the interests and values that I believe in. As attorney general, President Trump and I had one disagreement.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first statewide referendum held amid the coronavirus pandemic, turnout for Tuesday\u2019s primary was extremely light in most places. Secretary of State John Merrill originally predicted turnout as high as 22% but modified that down on election day to 15-10%.<\/p>\n

Tuberville will face Jones in the Nov. 3 general election.<\/p>\n

Tuberville eyes big step toward becoming next Alabama senator<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
