16. Doug Jones was the Democratic incumbent who was defeated by "Coach" Tuberville

Jones had a stellar career which included prosecuting the KKK for the Birmingham church bombing. He defeated the disgraced Roy Moore to win the special election to fill the seat vacated when Jeff Session resigned to join the Trump administration, and was running to retain the seat. It's unfathomable tgat he woukd be replaced by someone so unqualified abd unworthy. I live in TN, btw, and understand there are plenty of good Democrats in red states who don't deserve to be included in the generalized scorn.
