Judge Roy Moore prevailed in the Alabama U.S. Senate primary election Tuesday night and will proceed to a runoff next month against Sen. Luther Strange.
With 90 percent of precincts reporting, Moore garnered 40 percent of the vote to Strange’s 32 percent and Congressman Mo Brooks’ 20 percent.
The convincing win demonstrated Moore’s enduring popularity in the Yellowhammer State, where he was twice elected chief justice of the state’s Supreme Court.
