President Trump thinks Jeff Sessions' actions as attorney general have come back to haunt him. Sessions was an original member of the Trump administration, but he tumbled out of the president's good graces when he recused himself from overseeing Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into 2016
Russian election interference because of his closeness to the 2016 Trump campaign.Now, Sessions is running to reclaim his old
Alabama Senate seat, which he vacated for the attorney general gig. But he failed to win a majority in the
Republican primary Tuesday night, which means he'll face former Auburn University football coach Tommy Tuberville in a runoff. Tuberville actually garnered a plurality in round one.Trump, who seemingly never forgave Sessions for the recusal, appears to have enjoyed hearing the news. He attributed Sessions' shaky performance to the decision, suggesting that if had faced down the Mueller investigation he wouldn't be in this precarious position.
