Donald Trump promised to back an Alabama Senate candidate, but it hasn’t happened.
The GOP primary is essentially a three-candidate race at this point with Brooks, Katie Britt and Mike Durant -- though there will be six candidates on the ballot.

Then two days after that,Polls indicate that Durant’s double-digit lead in March has evaporated and a poll released Tuesday had the Huntsville business executive and former Army aviator in third place behind frontrunning Britt and second-place Brooks.
