Tuberville, a former Auburn football coach and political newcomer, received the endorsement of Donald Trump. Sessions was Trump’s Attorney General until he was pushed out of office by the President due to recusing himself from investigations into the President.

The PAC Club for Growth, who backed Tuberville, congratulated him via Twitter.

VICTORY: Congratulations to @club4growth PAC-endorsed @TTuberville on winning the #ALSEN Republican primary runoff!

Coach Tuberville is a principled, pro-growth conservative, who is well positioned to defeat liberal Democrat Sen. @DougJones in November. #ALpolitics pic.twitter.com/nVyCMTJ1Ys

President Donald Trump has weighed in on Tuberville’s win.

Wow, just called! @TTuberville – Tommy Tuberville WON big against Jeff Sessions. Will be a GREAT Senator for the incredible people of Alabama. @DougJones is a terrible Senator who is just a Super Liberal puppet for Schumer & Pelosi. Represents Alabama poorly. On to November 3rd.
