As Rep. Mo Brooks’ (R-Ala.) Trump-endorsed Senate campaign sputters and
the Alabama GOP primary descends into chaos, Sen. Richard Shelby is
making his move. 

Our Burgess Everett and Natalie Allison scoop that Shelby is “preparing
to pour as much as $6 million into the race by transferring his campaign
coffers into a super PAC supporting Katie Britt,” his former aide who is
running for the Senate seat.

“‘I’m going to give it all away sooner or later. I’m going to help her,
transfer it to a super PAC,’ said Shelby, who has nearly $10 million in
his campaign account and more than $6 million in a separate leadership
PAC. He added that Britt is ‘doing well right now. Mo Brooks is
dropping, you see that.’”
