Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL) As expected, Democratic Sen. Doug Jones, who took office in 2018 after a tight race against serial sexual assaulter Judge Roy Moore, looks to be in trouble for reelection. Via the Montgomery Advertiser: According to the poll (from JMC Analytics and Polling), which tested head-to-head match-ups with five Republicans seeking the nomination for Jones’ seat: • Former Auburn head football coach Tommy Tuberville leads Jones 47% to 40%, with 13% undecided • Former U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions leads Jones 46% to 41%, with 13% undecided • U.S. Rep. Bradley Byrne leads Jones 44% to 40%, with 16% undecided In what appeared to be pandering to conservative voters in his state, Jones recently said on ABC’s “This Week” that the allegations that Donald Trump exploited Ukraine for his political benefit are “serious” and “impeachable,” but added that there are “gaps” in the House’s case and that he is willing to acquit Trump in a Senate trial if “those dots aren’t connected.”
“(President Trump) ordered his top people who were in the room, who have first hand knowledge, not to testify. He ordered documents not to be turned over,” Sen. Doug Jones says in response to Sen. Ron Johnson’s claim that charges against Trump are “thin.” https://t.co/1HAWEUtQuBpic.twitter.com/alfXVUC4Ff
