Sen. Tommy Tuberville is running for Alabama governor in 2026.
The Alabama Republican launched his campaign website on Tuesday, ending weeks of speculation about his ambitions for the state’s highest office.
Tuberville is looking to succeed termed-out Republican Gov. Kay Ivey. He is immediately the frontrunner to win the seat in the deep red state, with other potential Republican candidates opting against a campaign. His decision also sets up an open Senate race in Alabama in the midterms.
“President Trump was a guy that really was behind me during the Senate race, he’s been behind me ever since, and today, I will announce that I will be the future governor of the great state of Alabama,” Tuberville said on Fox News’ “The Will Cain Show” later Tuesday, officially launching his bid.
