Representative Mo Brooks survived Tuesday's GOP Senate primary in Alabama and is headed for a runoff despite the $2 million spent by a PAC affiliated with Mitch McConnell to defeat him.
On April 1, McConnell's Senate Leadership Fund contributed the money to Alabama's Future, a super PAC that supported one of Brooks' two opponents in the primary, Katie Britt, according to Federal Election Commission data. Brooks has been a vocal critic of the Kentucky senator and has called his campaign stops"Fire McConnell" town halls, according to AL.com.
The Alabama representative's advancement to the runoff comes after a high-profile split with former President. In April 2021, Trump endorsed Brooks, which resulted in the candidate becoming an early front-runner for the seat that will be vacated by GOP Senator Richard Shelby, who announced he will not seek reelection.
