.KatieBrittforAL conceded that few Republicans thought she could win the Republican nomination for Senate in the ruby-red state of Alabama after former President Donald Trump endorsed RepMoBrooks early in the campaign.

In comments to reporters Tuesday morning, Britt framed her Senate bid as “David versus Goliath.” But Britt, the former chief of staff to retiring Sen. Richard Shelby , along with a close-knit circle of supporters, was so confident Brooks was beatable — even with Trump’s backing — that husband Wesley Britt resigned from an executive position with Birmingham-based Alabama Power Company to devote himself to the campaign full time.

Indeed, that looked to be the case weeks ago, before Trump endorsed Britt on June 10, roughly three months after he abandoned Brooks, 68, who was trailing in the polls and trending downward. But the former president’s seal of approval certainly did not hurt Britt’s prospects, either. Alabama has typically been among the most pro-Trump states in the country.

Brooks, who recovered from his earlier struggles on the campaign trail and forced Britt into a runoff, was hoping to engineer a “David versus Goliath” comeback of his own.
