Trump makes last minute pitch for his earliest supporter in heated Alabama Senate race: ‘He’ll fight for you’
“I’ve been in the fight with President Trump for 11 years now,” he said, “And there’s still so much yet to be done.”

With the primary election just around the corner, President Donald Trump has doubled down on his support for U.S. House Representative Barry Moore. During a high-stakes telerally held Monday evening, Trump urged Alabama voters to rally behind the congressman as he navigates a crowded and aggressive race for the state's open U.S. Senate seat.
A Loyal Alliance
Trump’s endorsement serves as a major boost for Moore, who notably holds the distinction of being the first elected official in the nation to back Trump’s initial presidential bid. Reflecting on their long-standing partnership, Moore noted, “I’ve been in the fight with President Trump for 11 years now. And there’s still so much yet to be done.” Moore has served in Congress since 2020.
During the call, the former president praised Moore’s legislative record, highlighting his votes to secure the Southern border, provide historic funding for the U.S. military, and pass the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill, which the Trump campaign frames as the largest working-class tax cut in American history. While the legislation provided relief for many low- and middle-income families, the Tax Policy Center has noted that the bill also expanded the national deficit and directed significant savings toward high-income households.
The Road to the Senate
The race for the Senate seat remains intensely competitive. Moore faces a primary field that includes Attorney General Steve Marshall and Jared Hudson, both of whom have maintained momentum throughout the spring. Other Republican contenders in the mix include businessman Rodney Walker, former Navy nuclear submarine captain Seth Burton, and Dr. Dale Deas Jr.
On the Democratic side, the field features Kyle Sweetser, Dakarai Larriett, Lamont Lavender, Everett Wess, and Mark Wheeler II.
Voters head to the polls this May 19. If no candidate secures more than 50% of the vote, the top finishers will face off in a runoff election on June 16.
