Hillary Clinton celebrated the victory of Alabama Senate candidate Doug Jones (D) on Tuesday, calling for Democrats to “compete everywhere.”

Jones’ stunning victory, called by multiple media outlets, follows a closely-watched campaign to fill the seat vacated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Jones’ Republican opponent, Roy Moore, was accused of sexual misconduct last month by multiple women, including one woman who alleged Moore initiated a sexual encounter with her when she was a teenager and he was in his 30s. Moore denied the allegations, but faced calls to drop out of the race from top Republicans.

President Trump threw his support behind Moore, however, urging his followers on Twitter to vote for Moore and holding a campaign rally near the Alabama border in support of Moore.

3. Victory!

Victory for Democrats and sane people everywhere in formerly Red Alabama, now Bluer.

We are now anticipating Blue Wave Democratic Victories across America in 2018 and 2020.

We will work tirelessly until Trump and his criminal cohorts are thrown out of office and consigned to the garbage pail of history.

God Bless Doug Jones and everyone who supported him!

8. Alabama just became purple!

Congratulations to Doug Jones, who ran a clean and remarkable campaign.

The people of Alabama listened to Jones and voted with their hearts. African Americans can be proud of their contribution - they all showed up, and they voted when it really mattered. When we Democrats work together, we can achieve ANYTHING!

4. Gee

"And if Democrats can win in Alabama, we can - and must - compete everywhere"

You mean maybe that 50 state strategy that your pal DWS annihilated wasn't such a bad idea after all?
