"Barry Moore Triumphs Over Rep. Jerry Carl in Alabama House District 1 GOP Primary"

Rep. Barry Moore defeated Rep. Jerry Carl in a rare incumbent-vs.-incumbent Republican primary in Alabama, following a Supreme Court decision that forced the state to adopt redrawn congressional districts. Moore's win is seen as a victory for the House Freedom Caucus, while Carl, a member of the powerful Appropriations Committee, is more aligned with the business wing of the party. The redistricting combined large swaths of both districts into the 1st District, prompting Moore's challenge. The new map was adopted after the Supreme Court ruled that Alabama's GOP-drawn districts violated the Voting Rights Act, favoring Democrats to win the newly drawn 2nd District.
