In the past ,Doug jones held the seat in the 2017 and is running as a incumbent for 2020

Tommy Tuberville ran against Jeff Sessions in the Republican Primary Race. Tommy Tuberville won 60.7% of votes defeating Jeff Sessions with 39.3% of votes in the Republican primary runoff for U.S. Senate Alabama on July 14, 2020.

Tommy Tubberville is pretty ideological when it comes to fitting his party platform. He is against abortion, he believes in securing the borders, lower taxes and less spending, he fully believes in the second amendment, he believes that obamacare must go, and also wants the investigators for president to trump to be investigated. 

These Endorsements matter because they may act as a guide to some voters who are not as involved with facts and statistics as others. With support of a celebrity or current/past politician that was in favor of the majority of the voter population, a candidate could bag many voters just off of the fact one supports them.Although with the current age being socially active online some studies have shown that endorsements might not matter as much as some think. “A study in 2004 by Alan Gerber of Yale University found household political mailings to increase vote probabilities for a given candidate by a measly 0.2%. Another study tested the entire suite of campaign outreach tools — canvassing, mailings, phone banking, and TV and online advertising — and found the cumulative effect of such efforts to be virtually zero.”

Our evidence supporting our thesis is that alabama is a largely red state, and according to their midterm elections, the wave of activism when it comes to democratic voting has not swayed these red voters, republicans swept the win for statewide offices, Besides Jones winning in 2017, the state had not elected a democrat to statewide office since 2008, these trends do not support the victory of Jones. 

Even though voter turnout is unpredictable due to the coronavirus, it is still unlikely that jones will win. He made it on a “miracle win” in his 2017 election, his approval rating, last taken in october 2019 shows that jones has a 41% approval rating with 36% disapproving. Though this does not seem drastic, his republican counterparts have much lower disapproval ratings. For example, the republican senator Richard Shelby has a 45% approval rating with 30% disapproval. This demonstrates Jones' chance if victory remains low. 

Wesley Hunt defeated the other candidates, Cindy Siegel (27.2%), Maria Espinoza, Kyle Preston, Jim Noteware, and Laique Rehamn with a majority vote of 61%.

Shawn Kelly advanced from the Libertarian convention for the U.S. House Texas District 7 on March 21, 2020.

Hunt is backed by trump. This can be a negative because his approval rating has drastically plummeted in the suburbs, where much of his original voting demographics came from. Hunt needs these votes, especially because inner city houston is largely a blue area.

Wesley Hunt is also more ideological. He wants to secure our southern border because of the issue dealing with illegal immigration, he wants to lower taxes, he wants to reduce the cost of healthcare, and wants to prevent future spending: supports the Balanced Budget Amendment.
