Thank you, Alabama! I love this state and am honored to serve as your 55th Governor. Alabama’s best days are ahead. 🇺🇸

(con't).. Over the next two and a half months, we will continue working closely together to ensure a smooth transition for our state. Alabama is experiencing great momentum, and we both want to see our state achieve even more success in the years ahead.

... Every single Alabamian in all 67 counties deserves a state government that works effectively for them, and we remain committed to delivering that during this transition period. We are confident Alabama’s best days are still in front of us.”

The Fox News Decision Desk can project that Democrat Annie Andrews will win South Carolina’s Senate race, defeating Republican Senator Darline Graham. Democrats didn’t invest heavily in this race, but poor turnout for Graham in conservative areas has allowed Andrews to flip a state that hasn’t elected a Democratic senator for nearly 30 years. Andrews is a pediatrician and former congressional candidate. #FoxNews #ElectionDay

Police Chief: This is not a random act of violence, early investigation shows the suspect and victim know each other. The victim was shot in the arm and is expected to be OK.

Gov. Ivey's response:
I think the world of Governor Ivey, but her administration’s handling of the construction of Alabama’s two new men’s prisons is flat out wrong. Taxpayers deserve to understand what has transpired during the failed construction of the first facility before they are asked to foot the bill for a second. Below is a letter I shared with her before today’s Alabama Corrections Institution Financing Authority meeting.
