Democrat won an unexpected victory in the Senate in Alabama

Democrat Dag Jones prevailed over the Republican Roem Mor in an extraordinary election to the Senate from the southern state of Alabam. The Democrat gained about 50 percent of the vote, the Republican - less than 49 percent. The struggle was waged for a place liberated by Jeff Sehns, whom President Trump appointed Minister of Justice. This is evidenced by preliminary voting results.

The last time a democratic candidate won the Senate elections from conservative Alabama 25 years ago. The victory of Jones is regarded as a major defeat of the Republicans and Trump, who will now be even more difficult to conduct his legislative program through the upper house of Congress, where the Republicans had 52 places, the democrats had 48.

Roy Mora's chances were negatively affected by accusations of harassment, put forward by several women, whom he allegedly seduced many years ago, even at the time of their minority. Even if Mor won, some single -partyists offered him to declare obstruction and expel him from the Senate.

In the last days of the campaign, the president vigorously supported Mora, saying that he will become his reliable ally in the Senate. The National Committee of the Republican Party made large donations to his election fund. The headquarters of Daga Jones also received large cash injection from all over the country. The backbone of his supporters was made up of African Americans, as well as the white middle class, who usually votes for the Republicans, but this time preferred not tarnished by accusations of the candidate. Trump himself in 2016 won Alabama, gaining more than 60 percent of the votes of the Iznishmers.

On Tuesday late in the evening, Roy Mor refused to recognize the election results
