Former Judge Everett Wess has won the Democratic Senate nomination in Alabama, aiming to succeed Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville, who is running for governor this year. Wess defeated small business owner Dakarai Larriett in the Democratic Senate runoff, as reported by the Associated Press on Tuesday night. Wess and Larriett had previously finished first and second in last month's primary, which featured four candidates. Since no candidate received more than 50% of the vote, Wess and Larriett advanced to the runoff election. Wess will face Republican nominee Rep. Barry Moore in the general election. Moore won his nomination runoff against former Navy SEAL sniper Jared Hudson, with support from former President Donald Trump. The last time a Democrat won a Senate election in Alabama was during former Senator Doug Jones' special election victory in 2017.
