Shelby Sides Against Trump In Alabama Senate Race

Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) is backing his former chief of staff Katie Boyd Britt in the race to succeed him in the Senate, siding against former President Donald Trump’s favored candidate, Rep. Mo Brooks, Politico reports.

Said Shelby: “She’s like family. She’d make a good candidate. She’s probably the best-qualified candidate to come along in a long time. I’d support her, I’d vote for her.”
