Trump Attacks Sessions on Twitter Ahead of Runoff with Tuberville for U.S. Senate Seat
President Donald Trump lashed out at former Attorney General Jeff Sessions as the Alabama Republican advanced to a primary runoff in his quest to win back his old U.S. Senate seat. Sessions held the seat for two decades, but was forced into a runoff with a political newcomer after being wounded by Trump’s prior criticisms of his recusal in the Russia investigation.
The newest Twitter scolding by Trump on Wednesday could further damage Sessions’ hopes of a political resurrection.
Sessions fell short of winning the GOP nomination and will face former Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville in a Republican runoff. The winner of their March 31 runoff will face incumbent Democratic Sen. Doug Jones.
