Jeff Sessions loses Alabama Senate primary runoff

Reporting cited here

1. reported

   Tommy Tuberville defeated Sessions in the Republican runoff after Trump made Sessions' recusal a central loyalty issue and campaigned against him. Sessions had insisted the recusal was legally required and said he remained supportive of Trump's agenda. The outcome is a measurable political loss and material relationship consequence, while causation is stated narrowly: Trump intervened and his endorsed candidate won.
