Mo Brooks Makes an Unlikely Comeback

By Leave a Comment

“Two months ago, Rep. Mo Brooks, whose hard-right credentials were unblemished, seemed to be imploding in the Alabama Republican Senate race,” the New York Times reports.

“Under a rain of attack ads, polls showed him falling behind two rivals. Former President Donald J. Trump humiliated Mr. Brooks by rescinding an earlier endorsement.”

“But Mr. Brooks has staged a compelling comeback, with recent polling putting him in a statistical tie for the lead in a tight three-candidate race ahead of the primary on Tuesday.”
