The first Democratic Senator in 25 years was elected today in Alabama, and Doug Jones' victory over Roy Moore dealt a huge blow to the Trump administration by shortening the gap in the Senate to 51-49, with majority being Republicans. Although Roy Moore was backed by Trump, the controversial nature of his campaign, which involved sexual abuse allegations from minors, caused him to come short in even the heavily Republican Alabama.
Personally, I am delighted to see that the good of the country is finally overcoming the barriers of political parties. The fact that Alabamians were able to look past political parties and elect a decent human being to office in for their state, even if they share different beliefs, is proof that hope should not be lost for America just quite yet.
