The GOP primary in Alabama is devolving into chaos as Brooks reels. The situation is forcing Richard Shelby to act. Senator Shelby will transfer $6 million from his campaign coffers to a super PAC supporting Katie Britt, a former Shelby aide who is running for the Senate seat.
Shelby said in an interview he'll do what it takes to ensure Britt emerges from the Alabama primary with a place in the runoff. Brooks won the primary in November, but now he's on the ropes, and Durant has made a push.
Several Senate Republicans, including those who thought Trump acolyte Brooks was the odds-on favorite after he earned the backing of the former president in April, were stunned by Brooks' weakened campaign and his opponents' rise.
