Republican Rep. Barry Moore is projected to win Alabama’s U.S. Senate race over Democrat Everett Wess, according to Decision Desk HQ and the Associated Press, as cited by The Hill and Breitbart. The seat opened when Sen. Tommy Tuberville, a Republican, chose to leave after one term to run for governor. President Donald Trump endorsed Moore. Breitbart reports that with an estimated 79 percent of votes counted, Moore had 55.5 percent, or 817,194 votes, against Wess’s 44.5 percent.
