The last day of campaigning in the Alabama U.S. Senate runoff between establishment-backed Luther Strange and grassroots favorite Judge Roy Moore pits Vice President Mike Pence against former White House chief strategist and current Breitbart Executive Chairman Steve Bannon, CNN’s Eric Bradner reports.

From CNN:

Sen. Luther Strange and Roy Moore are into the final hours of a hard-fought intra-party campaign that is testing President Donald Trump’s influence with Republican voters and could set the stage for a series of GOP Senate primaries next year.

The final day of campaigning here features Vice President Mike Pence as Strange’s most visible advocate and Steve Bannon, the recently ousted former White House chief strategist, stumping for Moore.

Pence will visit NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, and then head to Birmingham, Alabama’s largest city, for a nighttime rally to close Strange’s campaign.

Bannon, meanwhile, heads to Fairhope — just outside Mobile, on the Gulf of Mexico — to join “Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson at a Monday night “faith and family rally” with Moore.
