Former Judge Everett Wess has won the Democratic Senate nomination in solidly red Alabama, in the race to succeed Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who is running for governor this year.

Wess defeated small business owner Dakarai Larriett in the Democratic Senate runoff, the Associated Press reported on Tuesday night.

Wess and Larriett finished first and second in last month's primary, in the four-candidate field. But since no one topped 50% of the vote, Wess and Larriett advanced to Tuesday's runoff election.

Other than former Democratic Sen. Doug Jones' 2017 special election victory, it's been over three decades since a Democrat has won a Senate election in Alabama.
