In a closely watched GOP primary for Alabama's 1st Congressional District, Representative Barry Moore, a member of the House Freedom Caucus and aligned with MAGA principles, emerged victorious over fellow GOP Representative Jerry Carl. The race, marked by its rarity as a member-on-member contest due to redistricting, concluded with Moore's win, as projected by various news outlets including AP and NBC News. The Supreme Court's decision to redraw Alabama's congressional districts spurred this unique incumbent-vs.-incumbent battle. Moore's victory, despite being outspent and geographically disadvantaged, was endorsed by notable figures like Matt Gaetz, who praised Moore for his commitment to the people over special interests.
