BREAKING: Senator Tommy Tuberville announces run for Governor

by The Right Scoop

Senator Tommy Tuberville from Alabama has announced his intention to run for Governor of the Yellowhammer State, according to reports this morning that he confirmed it to a group of donors last night:

U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) is running for Governor of Alabama in 2026, according to reports confirmed by Yellowhammer News.

Back in state while Congress is in recess, Tuberville told a group of donors at a private event on Wednesday night that his mind is officially made up. Rather than seeking re-election to the U.S. Senate, he is ready to run his next race in Alabama — and serve the people of the state in Montgomery instead of Washington.

If anyone were going to leave the US Senate to become Governor of a state, I’m glad it’s from Alabama, where the US Senate seat should be pretty safe.
