Jones celebrated his victory by simply tweeting, "Thank you ALABAMA!!" Trump's reaction to the result was surprisingly mild, as the POTUS tweeted, "Congratulations to Doug Jones on a hard fought victory. The write-in votes played a very big factor, but a win is a win. The people of Alabama are great, and the Republicans will have another shot at this seat in a very short period of time. It never ends!" No word on whether Trump or one of his assistants actually crafted that surprisingly level-headed and grammatically correct response.
