Former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore beat Trump-backed Luther Strange in the Alabama Senate primary runoff Tuesday, but many on social media jumped on the president's tweet urging Roy to win in November.

The general election is actually in December. Moore will face Democrat Doug Jones then, and the winner of that race will complete the Senate term started by Attorney General Jeff Sessions and be up for re-election in 2020.

Trump, however, did fix his tweet with the correct election date.
