Conservative firebrand Moore wins Alabama GOP Senate primary

WASHINGTON - Alabama voters elected conservative firebrand Roy Moore as the Republican nominee to fill a US Senate seat, media reports said on Tuesday, dealing a blow to President Donald Trump and other party leaders who had argued that rival Luther Strange was a better bet to advance their priorities in Washington.
Moore, 70, is best known for losing his position as the state's top judge twice, once for refusing a court order to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the courthouse and a second time for defying the US Supreme Court's decision to legalize same-sex marriage.
He will be favored in the December election against Democratic nominee Doug Jones.
