Mr. Magoo, Jeff Sessions is getting a break with the coronavirus. He was in a runoff election, scheduled for later this month against Tommy Tuberville to crush communist Doug Jones in the Senate. Because of the coronavirus outbreak, the election that was supposed to happen on March 31 is now delayed until July 14. This means that the establishment hacks who support Sessions will get an extra two months to try and pull him over the finish line against Tuberville.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey announced Wednesday that due to coronavirus concerns she will postpone the primary runoff elections in her state — a vote that will feature former Trump Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the Trump-endorsed former Auburn University head football coach Tommy Tuberville vying for the right to challenge Sen. Doug Jones, D-Ala., in November.
The contest, originally scheduled for March 31, will now happen on July 14. Sessions previously held the Senate seat Jones now occupies before he vacated it to become attorney general.
“Delaying the election to July 14 is not a decision I came to lightly, but one of careful consideration,” Ivey said. “I appreciate the guidance of Attorney General Steve Marshall and Secretary of State John H. Merrill for their collaboration to ensure the continuity of our state government.”
