- President Donald Trump's endorsement earlier this year helped Moore secure the GOP nomination, defeating primary challengers including Steve Marshall and Rodney Walker.

- In the U.S. Senate, Republicans hold a slim majority while Democrats remain within striking distance of seizing control of the chamber.
