Trump's endorsement comes after Sessions and Tuberville finished neck and neck last week in a Republican primary race that featured a handful of candidates. As the top two finishers, Sessions, who formerly held this Alabama Senate seat before joining the Trump administration, and Tuberville will face off in a runoff on March 31 since no candidate collected more than 50 percent of the vote.
Even before he declared for the presidency, I fought for the principles that Donald Trump so effectively advocated in the campaign and has advanced as President. I believed in those principles then, I have always fought for them, and I will continue to do so. After the primary last week, Trump trashed Sessions on Twitter, blaming him for his early recusal from the Russia investigation that would morph into special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
"This is what happens to someone who loyally gets appointed Attorney General of the United States & then doesn't have the wisdom or courage to stare down & end the phony Russia Witch Hunt," Trump wrote."Recuses himself on FIRST DAY in office, and the Mueller Scam begins!" The winner of the runoff will face Sen. Doug Jones, D-Ala., in November. Jones won Sessions' old seat in a 2017 special election against Roy Moore, who competed in this year's GOP primary. Jones is considered one of the most vulnerable Democrats in the Senate.
The president was privately itching to weigh in on the Alabama race for days prior to slamming Sessions after the vote last week, two people close to the president told NBC News.

President Trump endorses fmr. Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville in US Senate runoff race in Alabama; --- Ok. But, It was MY Understanding that Jeff Sessions was going to be charged for 'Lying Under Oath' during his Confirmation Hearing. I guess Not.
I’d be willing to bet Jeff will still endorse Trump. That man has little to no self esteem.
Trump is a bitter, vindictive Scrooge. What an empty vessel he is.
vengeful much?!
