The 2020 U.S. Senate election isn’t just drawing attention from the Alabama Republican Party, but the national Republican Party as well.

Sen. Doug Jones (D-Mountain Brook) will be the only red state U.S. Senate Democrat on the ballot in 2020, making him potentially the most vulnerable Senate Democrat in that election cycle.

In an appearance on Huntsville radio’s WVNN on Monday, Republican National Committee spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany called Alabama “ground zero” for Republican pickups in the U.S. Senate.

“We have a lot of Republicans up for reelection this year, so the map isn’t quite situated the way it was for us the last time around,” McEnany said to “The Jeff Poor Show.” “We have Arkansas, Georgia, Delaware and a bunch of other states. But Alabama is really ground zero in terms of pickups. I believe Doug Jones is really the only red state Democrat out there facing reelection. So, we got a fight on our hands there, and I think it is one that we can win. He doesn’t represent the people of Alabama in the slightest. This is a red state, and I think we can take back that seat.”
