The member vs. member primary in Alabama between GOP Reps. Jerry Carl and Barry Moore is exposing a growing rivalry as it enters its final week.
The Super Tuesday contest will end the congressional career of one of the lawmakers, who are both in their second terms. In advertisements, both men have sought to paint themselves as more conservative, in a ruby-red district that former President Donald Trump would have won by 50 percentage points in 2020.
The faceoff comes after Alabama adopted a new congressional map that moved Moore’s hometown into the 1st District that Carl represents after the Supreme Court said the state must give African American voters two districts, instead of just one, where they can influence the election of a representative.
