His Republican opponent, Roy Moore, faced numerous allegations of sexual misconduct in the final weeks of the campaign, including from 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 and soon after faced calls from top Republicans to drop out of the race.
Trump, however, offered a full-throated endorsement of Moore in the days leading up to the election, holding a rally near the Alabama border and recording a robocall on behalf of Moore.
Bannon, the former White House chief strategist who now serves as the chairman of Breitbart News, campaigned for Moore in the final days of the race and appeared at several Moore rallies.
Moore has so far refused to concede the race to Jones, saying he is waiting on a final vote count from the Alabama secretary of State.
Jones’s victory deals a blow to Trump and Senate Republicans, whose advantage in the Senate shrinks to a 51-49 margin.
