President Donald Trump at a rally in Huntsville, Alabama, rallied for Sen. Luther Strange (R-Ala.) to fill Jeff Sessions’ Senate seat.

After Trump appointed Sessions to be his attorney general, then-Gov. Robert Bentley appointed Strange to temporarily replace Sessions, pending a special election. The Republican primary runoff for that election falls on Tuesday. Currently behind in the polls against Roy Moore, Strange has risen sharply since Trump endorsed him last month.
