Looks like @VivekGRamaswamy’s talking points for the #GOPDebate are pretty straightforward.

🚨State Rep. Paul Lee (R-Dothan) also re-elected to serve a first full term as Majority Leader of the @ALHouseHOP Caucus #alpolitics

No surprises here. Ledbetter notes 20/22 GOP incumbents won re-election this cycle. #alpolitics

“It wasn’t that bad tho right?” #alpolitics

Remarkable. So @AP has Tuberville leading by 87,126 votes with 88% reported, implying about 215,000 votes outstanding. To win, Jones needs 151,000 – 70% of everything left – in precincts that have now officially and reliably split 58-42? And the race is still not called? What’s actually left is about 88,000 ballots in Jefferson’s 51 remaining precincts and a handful of precincts in Baldwin, Lee, Calhoun, Tuscaloosa and Cherokee. Even if every remaining precinct matched Doug's single best suburban box of the night, he would still lose by more than 40,000 votes. #alpolitics

I broke down the math a little further here. @DougJones has no path to victory. #alpolitics

.@DougJones: "I'm still not convinced I'm not gonna be the governor yet." This is insane. Montgomery has reported all 52 precincts. Jefferson’s remaining 82 precincts are Hoover, Vestavia, Mountain Brook and Trussville. Tuberville leads by 91,823. About 145,000 ballots are left. Jones needs 82% of them. This is an unbelievable crash out. #alpolitics

Slew of major GOP upsets in state legislative districts. Roudolph Drake defeats John Roberts to take Dem control of State Sen. Tom Butler's seat. Jim Toomey unseats State Rep. Mike Shaw. Allison Montgomery unseats State Rep. Phillip Rigsby. Nell Brown unseats State Rep. Leigh Hulsey. #alpolitics

Marques called @RepSCFigures to wish him well and issued the following statement: “While this is not the outcome we hoped for, we are proud of the campaign we ran on Alabama common sense. Alabama values will always be worth fighting for, and Christina and I are deeply grateful to everyone who supported, prayed for and worked alongside us throughout this campaign. The mission remains the same: save our country for future generations. We will be praying for Congressman Figures, his family and all those elected to serve our state and country. God bless the greatest country on Earth.” #alpolitics

Game over in CD2 #alpolitics

Clear winner in the U.S. Senate race: @BMooreSenate. Statewide, it's a rough picture for Republicans. He's running 10 to 16 points behind @KatieBrittforAL's vote-getting in 2022 #alpolitics

State Rep. Mike Shaw (R-Hoover) and Democrat Jim Toomey are separated by less than the absentee count in House District 47. Ultra, ultra close. #alpolitics

Huge for the home team #alpolitics

Madison County: 22 of 80 precincts show Doug Jones 62%, Tuberville 38%. Straight-ticket voting is 57% Democrat so far. In 2022, that was 64% Republican. #alpolitics

Baldwin County absentees: @CoachForGov 70.3%, @DougJones 29.5%. Governor Ivey won the county with 79% in 2022. @KGRob27 is at 73.4% on the same returns, by comparison. #alpolitics

The Wiregrass is going 70-30 for @RhettForAlabama. Montgomery County cast 75,581 ballots today and is projected to go 2-to-1 for @RepSCFigures. Whether that’s enough depends on Houston and Dale. No where close to a call yet. #alpolitics

Talladega County all precincts reporting: Tuberville 52.6%, Jones 47.1%. Talladega has matched the statewide result within a point in every major race since 2017. Governor Ivey got 59.5% in 2018. #alpolitics

In the open, Huntsville-area Senate District 2: 8 of 34 boxes reporting – Republican John Roberts is running four to ten points behind Trump’s 2024 share in every comparable precinct. He held Monrovia, a base box Trump won by 12, by eleven votes. #alpolitics
