'Thought Alabama had some sense': Liberals lose it as Republican governor Kay Ivey wins second full term
MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA: Governor Kay Ivey gets elected again to congress, defeating Democrats Yolanda Flowers from Alabama state. This will be Ivey's second four-year term. The 78-year-old governor has served since April 2017 for a partial term due to Robert Bentley's resignation over a sex scandal. In the following year, she was elected full term.

According to WVTM, Flowers was the first Black person to represent a major party in an Alabama gubernatorial race. However, Ivey turned victorious in the final results. The Governor was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in 2019. However, it was cured later on. Ivey avoided a runoff despite facing eight Republican party challengers.
