President Donald Trump says his pick in the Republican runoff for Senate in Alabama is getting a "bum rap" as a friend of the Senate's majority leader. The distance Trump is trying to put between Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and incumbent Sen. Luther Strange is a sign of the divided loyalties emerging in the Alabama race.
President Trump traveled to Alabama Friday night to stump for his chosen candidate, Sen. Luther Strange, ahead of Tuesday's bitter GOP Senate primary. But even he acknowledged his alliance with the appointed senator was somewhat strange given the fact that so many of his allies - such as former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, former national security aide Sebastian Gorka and former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin - are all backing Strange's opponent, former state Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore.
In interviews for Jeff Sessions' vacant Senate seat, Luther Strange promised to "do more" to help former Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley. And state Sen. Del Marsh, R-Anniston, "seemed angry" and allegedly threatened to "f - k with" Bentley for the next two years if he wasn't appointed, according to handwritten notes Bentley made from the interviews.

When scandal-plagued former Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley appointed his state's then-attorney general Luther Strange to the U.S. Senate, Bentley apparently considered it a good thing that he would get to name a new attorney general. Strange's appointment to fill Sen. Jeff Sessions' seat came as Bentley faced an impeachment investigation by state lawmakers for the fallout of an alleged affair with a staffer.
U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening that he may decertify Colombia as a partner in the war against drugs unless the South American nation reverses a record surge in cocaine production.

The Strange campaign accused Moore of hiding after he withdrew from a debate hosted by a conservative think tank, the Alabama Policy Institute. Moore said he withdrew because API's president also serves as treasurer of a group backing Strange.

Former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, who was twice removed from office, forced a primary runoff Tuesday against Trump-backed incumbent Sen. Luther Strange in a race likely to be closely watched for clues about Republicans' prospects in 2018 midterm elections. Despite being buoyed by millions of dollars in advertising by a super political action committee tied to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Strange was unable to defeat the firebrand jurist who took losing stands for the public display of the Ten Commandments and against gay marriage.
Trump writes on Twitter that Strange "has done a great job representing the people of the Great State of Alabama. He has my complete and total endorsement!" Strange was recently appointed to the Senate seat previously held by now-Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
