DescriptionWASHINGTON - Alabama's two Republican U.S. senators are backing Luther Strange in his campaign for Alabama attorney general, a reversal from their past support for the incumbent, Troy King.

U.S. Sens. Richard Shelby and Jeff Sessions are featured guests at a Washington fundraiser for Strange next week, according to the invitation, and both offices on Tuesday praised Strange's candidacy.

It is an intriguing development inside the Alabama Republican Party to have the GOP's two highest-ranking federal officials actively working against an incumbent they helped elect three years ago.
