Rep. Martha Roby won her Republican primary runoff Tuesday in Alabama, defeating a former Democratic congressman who gained traction attacking Roby as insufficiently supportive of President Donald Trump.
Roby had won reelection easily ever since she defeated one-term Democratic Rep. Bobby Bright in the Republican wave of 2010. But Roby’s October 2016 declaration that she would not vote for Trump, who was under fire at the time for making sexually aggressive comments about women in the “Access Hollywood” tape, angered a significant share of Republican voters in her conservative district.
