The Associated Press is projecting Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey will retain her office after beating two opponents in the November general election.
both sought to replace Ivey as she cruises to her second full term as the state’s chief executive. They faced uphill challenges with a popular incumbent and her well-financed campaign.
The AP and other news organizations called the race, along with that of Katie Britt in the U.S. Senate race, moments after polls officially closed.conducted by Gray TV and Alabama Daily News reported Ivey commanded 60 percent of the votes, though she exclaimed that “the only poll that matters is what, who shows up at the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 8.”
Term-limited, Ivey initially sought higher office as governor in 2011 but quickly pivoted in a crowded field to the lieutenant governor’s race, a move that proved decisive in her political career several years later.
