The race is set for Alabama voters to decide this November who will be their next U.S. senator following Katie Britt's victory over Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., in Tuesday's GOP primary runoff election.
In her first interview following her election victory, Britt described the "surreal moment" to Fox News Digital and said she is unsure of whether it has "quite sunk in" that she will represent the Republican Party in the general election in the Yellowhammer State on Nov. 8.

"I'm so excited," she said, adding that Alabamians "want new blood."
Asked about former President Trump's endorsement of her candidacy and whether she believed it impacted her chances of winning, Britt said, "absolutely!"
"We were so proud to earn that endorsement and also know that people know – and obviously the president said – that we're the best to fight for the America first agenda," she said. "That's what I'm hearing all over the state. People miss those policies."
Ahead of the general election, Britt said she and her team would "continue our grassroots campaign, we're gonna continue to criss cross the state, meeting with voters and spreading our message."
