Alabama Republicans cheered President Donald Trump and his agenda at a GOP party the day he imposed tariffs and sent stock markets tumbling worldwide.

(CNN) - Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions might be interested in jumping into the race for his old Senate seat, but some Republicans are throwing cold water on the idea. But Sessions has not discussed the race with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, nor has McConnell encouraged Sessions to run, according to one GOP source familiar with McConnell's thinking. Trump remains extremely popular in Alabama, and he "will 100% go after Jeff Sessions" if Sessions runs, the second GOP source predicted. Sessions has made himself vulnerable with some of the things that have happened" with the President, Merrill said. Merrill would not say whether he would end his Senate bid if Sessions were to run.
