President Trump congratulated Democrat Doug Jones for winning the U.S. Senate special election in Alabama against Republican candidate Roy Moore.

“Congratulations to Doug Jones on a hard fought victory. The write-in votes played a very big factor, but a win is a win. The people of Alabama are great, and the Republicans will have another shot at this seat in a very short period of time. It never ends!”
