The 2020 U.S. Senate race in Alabama significantly changed last week when former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions jumped in the race.
Almost immediately, he became one of the top candidates, if not the front-runner, in the 2020 contest for the GOP nod. But the question remains: Would his differences with Donald Trump hinder his chances?
Thus far, Trump has yet to weigh in publicly on Sessions’ candidacy. However, during an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle” on Wednesday, host Laura Ingraham asked him if he thought he might get an endorsement from Trump.
“I hope so,” Sessions replied. “Certainly, I’m going to work for that, and we’ll be seeking it. He doesn’t always get involved in primaries, so I understand that, and he has indicated he probably would not in this one. But yes, I would love to have his support because I ask people. First, I asked the people of Alabama and throughout the country to trust him, to support him.”
“And I thought he was the one who could win, and if he won, I thought he would bring that drive, that energy, that will, because it’s extraordinary, to advance his agenda,” he added.
