Alabama’s two U.S. Senators, Katie Britt and Tommy Tuberville, were among those celebrating former President Donald Trump’s victory over Kamala Harris.
Britt congratulated Trump for being elected our 47th president after “a resounding victory!”
“Excited to get to work with a Republican Senate majority to restore stable prices, secure borders, safe streets, and peace through strength. Let’s unite our nation and get America back on track,” Britt posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
One time GOP hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy posted a picture of himself with Tuberville and Utah Sen. Mike Lee at Mar-a-Lago.
“Welcome back Mr. President!” Tuberville posted Wednesday morning. “Excited to get to work for Alabamians and the American people in our Senate majority. We will get America back on track.”
Trump easily won Alabama’s nine electoral votes before going on to defeat Harris and pave the way for his return to the White House in January.
Alabama is in a position to benefit more from Trump presidency than from a Harris presidency because Britt and Tuberville have been supportive of him, Jess Brown, a retired political science professor at Athens State University, recently told AL.com
“Trump seems to like both Tuberville and Britt,” Brown said. “Britt has in recent months shown also a willingness to defend Trump early and often.”
That means Alabama’s senators should have access to the president, Brown said.
But Trump’s track record shows he will not necessarily follow through and do what is necessary to get Congress to implement his priorities.
“The difficulty with Trump is predicting Trump,” Brown said.
