Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions said he would not stop supporting President Trump’s agenda, even though his ex-boss endorsed his Republican opponent in the March 31 Alabama Senate runoff election.
“I’m one of the architects of the Trump agenda — I’ve always supported it and always will. Nothing the President can do will deter me from supporting this agenda, because my principles, just like my faith, are fundamental to who I am and immovable,” Sessions tweeted Wednesday.
“We are Alabama,” he added. “Nobody tells us how to vote or what to do.”
We are Alabama. Nobody tells us how to vote or what to do.

A week after the Alabama primary, which sent Sessions and former Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville to a runoff election, Trump endorsed Tuberville over his first pick to lead the Justice Department.
Trump has been unable to forgive Sessions for recusing himself from overseeing the Russia investigation, which led to the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller.
The president refrained from endorsing any candidate in the primary, though he mocked Sessions for not winning the primary outright.
