Next week, Alabama voters will go to the polls to cast their ballots for a new senator — the seat left vacant by Attorney General Jeff Seasons. Senator Luther Strange has the support of President Donald Trump, who is expected to visit Alabama on Friday, but his opponent former Judge Roy Moore, has the support of recently departed White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon. Pat Duggins,news director for Alabama Public Radio, discusses the national implications of the race.
