Even though President Donald Trump’s endorsement in an Alabama U.S. Senate race doesn’t guarantee victory in the race, but any candidate would rather have that endorsement than not.

U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) now has that endorsement, and it will be seen on TV, heard on talk radio, and blown up on the Internet for months.

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall is an ally of the President, but he surely would have rather had him sit this race out.
