Trump praises Strange: ‘Tough on crime, borders’

President Trump in a pair of tweets on Tuesday again praised Sen. Luther Strange (R-Ala.) ahead of an Alabama special election primary for the Senate.

“Senator Luther Strange, who is doing a great job for the people of Alabama, will be on @foxandfriends at 7:15. Tough on crime, borders etc.,” Trump tweeted Tuesday.

“Big day in Alabama. Vote for Luther Strange, he will be great!” Trump tweeted just a couple hours later. 

Trump earlier this month endorsed Strange, who was appointed by then-Gov. Robert Bentley (R) to fill Attorney General Jeff Sessions‘s vacated seat.

{mosads}On Monday, the president similarly praised Strange, saying he was strong on the border, the military and tax cuts.

Trump also recorded a robocall for Strange, in which he encouraged voters to get out and support him in Tuesday’s primary.

recent poll showed Strange trailing former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore in the GOP primary race set for Tuesday. A primary runoff is likely, and Strange is competing with Rep. Mo Brooks for the second spot after Moore.
