Trump’s immediate response to Jones’ victory was a tweet congratulating him Tuesday night, surprisingly magnanimous for a president who lashes out at the small- est perceived slight and often seems to prioritize winning above all else. But by Wednes- day, Trump was on the defen- sive, reminding his followers that he had originally endorsed Moore’s Republican primary opponent, Sen. Luther Strange. “I said Roy Moore will not be able to win the general elec- tion. I was right!” Trump wrote in a pre-dawn tweet. “Roy worked hard but the deck was stacked against him!” The president offered no immediate insight into whether he viewed the results as a refer- endum on himself, personally or politically. But there’s no doubt that Trump’s track record of late has indeed been worrisome for Republicans weighing how closely to align themselves with the president in the mid- terms, where control of Con- gress will be at stake. Last month, the Trump- backed Republican gubernato- rial candidate in Virginia lost in a race that wasn’t close. The president now has the dubious distinction of picking wrong twice in Alabama, a state he won by 28 points just over a year ago. His first blemish came during the state’s Sen- ate primary, when he backed Strange, a decision he openly questioned while on stage at a rally for the incumbent days before the vote. Moore’s victory over Strange pushed Trump back to the roots of his presidential campaign. He realigned him- self with Steve Bannon, his chief strategist during the 2016 race and in the White House until he was ousted in a staff shakeup earlier this year. Ban- non was one of Moore’s most prominent supporters from the start and viewed the contest as a ripe opportunity to press for- ward in his goal of disrupting the Republican Party. More traditional Repub- licans have long warned that Bannon’s chosen candidates signal disaster for the party and will struggle to defeat Demo- crats in competitive states. The fact that one of those candi- dates couldn’t succeed in reli- ably red — or conservative — Alabama was quickly wielded as all the more reason for party leaders to marginalize Bannon. “Not only did Steve Ban- non cost us a critical Senate seat in one of the most Repub- lican states in the country, but he also dragged the president of the United States into his fiasco,” said Steven Law, the head of the McConnell-linked Senate Leadership Fund super PAC. It’s far from certain if Trump feels the same way after the Alabama race. The president seems more naturally attuned to other political outsiders and is well-aware that his command over a sizeable swath of the GOP primary electorate makes him a powerful player in deter- mining the party’s direction in upcoming elections. Whether he can transfer his own politi- cal good fortunes to those can- didates remains an unanswered question.
