ALABAMA: GOP Rep. Mo Brooks Offers To Withdraw From Senate Race If Jeff Sessions Wants His Seat Back

AL.com reports:

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, under fire and daily criticism from President Trump, should resign and seek to regain his seat again in the Senate, U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks said. Brooks released a statement Wednesday promising to withdraw from the Senate race if Sessions would run.

Brooks also included a resolution in his statement calling for all 10 of the Republican candidates to withdraw from the Senate race to allow Sessions to regain his seat. Brooks said he had not discussed his proposal with Sessions — the first senator to endorse Trump’s candidacy who was confirmed as attorney general by the Senate in February.

“I cannot remain silent about the treatment Jeff Sessions is receiving from President Trump,” Brooks said in the statement. “If the President has reservations about Attorney General Jeff Sessions, that is OK. No two people agree all the time.

So far front-runners Sen. Luther Strange, who was appointed to Sessions’ seat, and deposed Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore have not responded.
