After it became clear early this morning that President Donald Trump would win a second term in the White House, Alabama’s two senators and other members of its Washington delegation congratulated the now president-elect. Alabama, a state that Trump has won handily in the last two elections, was again an easy win for the Republican.
Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) hailed Trump’s win as a “resounding victory.”
Congratulations to our 47th President, @realDonaldTrump, on a resounding victory! Excited to get to work with a Republican Senate majority to restore stable prices, secure borders, safe streets, and peace through strength.
Let’s unite our nation and get America back on track. pic.twitter.com/nfSLzBIzet

In 2016, Trump bested Hillary Clinton by 27.7 points, and in 2020 beat Biden by 25.4 points to win Alabama. In this year’s election, Trump received his highest margin of victory yet in the Yellowhammer State dominating Kamala Harris by 30.6 points to gain Alabama’s nine electoral votes.
