Trump-Backed Rhett Marques Wins GOP Primary in Alabama's 2nd District, Setting Stage for Republican Advantage
Rhett Marques, endorsed by President Trump, has emerged victorious in the Republican primary for Alabama's newly redrawn 2nd Congressional District. This district, previously a majority-Black seat, was altered following a Supreme Court decision that allowed Alabama to implement a map more favorable to Republicans. The new boundaries exclude Mobile, complicating the re-election prospects for Democratic incumbent Shomari Figures. The University of Virginia's Center for Politics has rated the race as likely Republican, indicating a potential shift in political control.
