Election Day is here, U.S. Senate/AL-5 races have the energy and more on Alabama Politics This Week

—

June 19, 2022

Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and CEO of 256Today Mecca Musick take you through Alabama’s biggest political stories, including:

— Former President Donald Trump has decided to re-enter the Republican U.S. Senate primary and endorse Katie Britt. Does that seal the deal?

— As the race for U.S. House of Representatives in District 5 heats up, is this the ugliest race in the state?

— Have the members of the January 6 committee and their allies in the media found a smoking gun that proves former President Donald Trump broke the law?

The founder of The Driscoll Group, David Driscoll, joins the show to discuss how advertising has played a role in the 2022 elections in the state, accusations being flung in different campaigns, closed primaries and everything happening in Alabama politics this week.

Jackson closes the show with a “Parting Shot” directed at those who might be considering overturning the primary loss of Alabama State Senator Tom Whatley (R-Auburn) because of the precedent it could set.

Watch:

Dale Jackson is a contributing writer to Yellowhammer News and hosts a talk show from 5-9AM weekdays on WVNN and on Talk 99.5 from 10AM to noon.
