Fox News reported:

Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville on Tuesday announced his 2026 run for Alabama governor.

Tuberville, a top Senate supporter and ally of President Donald Trump, launched a campaign website that touts his “conservative Alabama values.”

And the senator made his first appearance after announcing his candidacy on Fox News’ “The Will Cain Show.”

“I’m doing this to help this country and the great state of Alabama,” Tuberville said in his Fox News Channel interview. “I’m a football coach. I’m a leader. I’m a builder. I’m a recruiter, and we’re going to grow Alabama.”

“We’re going to bring manufacturing to this state. We’re going to stop this illegal immigration. We’re going to make education better again, and we’re going to do everything possible to make sure our kids… stay in this state and work,” Tuberville added.

Sen. Tuberville is about as MAGA as it comes!

He’s a staunch ally of President Trump and exactly what Alabama needs in a governor.

However, his decision to leave the Senate will leave another seat open.

The Hill commented on who could replace him:

Several possible candidates have been rumored to be looking at entering the race for the seat, particularly on the Republican side, as Alabama is one of the most conservative-leaning states in the country.

State Attorney General Steve Marshall (R) has already expressed some openness publicly to running for the seat if Tuberville ran for governor. Marshall is unable to run for attorney general for a third term and has ruled out a gubernatorial bid, but not another office.

Marshall said during an interview on Alabama Public Television’s “Capitol Journal” in March that he has “great support” for what Tuberville has done in the Senate but would consider throwing his hat in the ring if the seat became open.

“If that seat becomes open, the Senate’s been sort of an overlay interest for what I’ve had at attorney general, the work we’ve done federally, many of the issues that we’ve been involved with, if that’s an open seat, I think we’ll be prepared to pivot quickly and make an announcement on whether or not we’d run,” Marshall said.

One possible candidate to follow in Tuberville’s footsteps from sports to politics may be Auburn University men’s basketball coach Bruce Pearl. Tuberville previously served as the head football coach for a few universities, including Auburn, before entering politics.

Semafor reported Tuesday that Pearl’s name has been floated as a possible replacement. One person familiar with the situation told the outlet that they heard Pearl plans to run.
