- On Tuesday, Alabama Republicans are casting ballots in a competitive Senate primary to succeed Tommy Tuberville, who is running for governor this year.

- President Donald Trump endorsed Rep. Barry Moore, a Freedom Caucus member, calling him "one of my all time favorites" and a "totally reliable MAGA Warrior," as the crowded field may necessitate a June 16 runoff.
