Jones fights for survival in Alabama as Tuberville coasts

Jones has been on a campaign blitz while Tuberville has adopted a strategy akin to running out the clock. Tuberville has announced fewer public campaign events, concentrated media appearances on conservative talk radio and has refused to debate Jones. Trump is expected to easily carry the state again, meaning Jones would have to win over some Trump voters. There are some discouraging signs for Jones, including that national Democratic groups haven't reported significant spending in Alabama, according to finance reports. But if Jones does win, McCrary said it would cement the possibility that Democrats can win in areas once thought impossible.

And despite all the brow beating, Sessions said Trump and those issues remain the right path for the GOP and the country.

For Sessions, ending his political career with a loss in a primary runoff would surely tarnish his legacy.

A woman casts her ballot during early voting for the California Democratic Primary in Los Angeles, California on March 2, 2020.
