Democrat Shomari Figures clinches second term in Alabama's 2nd District
Shomari Figures is heading back to Congress. The Democrat won a second term in Alabama's 2nd Congressional District, per an AP race call, in a seat that was redrawn in a way the outlet says favors Republicans. AP's Decision Team declared the win once the trailing candidates had no path left.
Democrat Shomari Figures has won a second term representing Alabama's 2nd Congressional District, per a race call from The Associated Press. The win locks in another two years for Figures in a seat he first claimed in 2024.
The district itself has been the center of attention: it was redrawn before that cycle, and AP describes the new lines as ones that favor Republicans. Figures won anyway, holding the seat for Democrats despite the shifted map.
AP doesn't guess on calls. The outlet has been tabulating U.S. election vote counts since 1848 and today pulls results from local election officials across thousands of races nationwide, reporting them as they land. Its Decision Team only declares a winner once it's certain the trailing candidates have no remaining path to victory — the standard Figures has now cleared.
