After Jeff Sessions conceded Alabama's Republican Senate runoff, he reiterated support for Donald Trump as the U.S. president continues to campaign for the November election.
Then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions speaks during a press conference Tuesday, Oct. 2, 2018, at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Columbus, Ohio. MOBILE, ALA. -- Jeff Sessions took the stage Tuesday night near the Alabama gulf coast with the same certitude he'd displayed on another, bigger stage across town almost five years ago. Donald Trump's vision, the former attorney general declared anew, is right for America.
For Trump, the outcome mixes vengeance and vindication. A turncoat, as he sees it, lost. And the president's preferred candidate, former Auburn University football coach Tommy Tuberville, won handily, immediately becoming a strong challenger to vulnerable Democratic Sen. Doug Jones in November. Sessions, for his part, seemed eager to move on from a primary fight that saw Tuberville call him "weak" and a "disaster." He pledged to help Tuberville defeat Jones in November, offering seemingly typical statements about party unity. But Sessions took special care when discussing the matter that dominated and ultimately doomed his comeback attempt.
He also alluded to what drew him to Trump in the first place -- similar views on immigration, trade and the chumminess of Washington.
