GOP Rep. Barry Moore is projected to defeat fellow Republican Rep. Jerry Carl in Alabama's 1st Congressional District primary, a rare member-on-member matchup.

The newly redrawn district presents a pickup opportunity for Democrats in Alabama's 2nd Congressional District, while the highly conservative 1st District is expected to favor Moore in the general election. Both candidates emphasized their conservative credentials, with Moore aligning himself with the far-right House Freedom Caucus and Carl touting his similarities to President Trump.
