Republican U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville confirmed on Tuesday that he will run for governor of Alabama in 2026, ending weeks of speculation about his political future. Speaking on Fox News, the 70-year-old senator declared, “I will be the future governor of the great state of Alabama.”
Tuberville, a former Auburn University football coach and prominent ally of President Donald Trump, was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2020 as part of Trump’s "America First" movement. His campaign website, “Coach for Governor,” features images of Tuberville with Trump and U.S. military officers, underlining his patriotic and conservative credentials.
In his announcement, Tuberville outlined key priorities including boosting Alabama’s manufacturing sector, reforming education, and cracking down on illegal immigration. He seeks to replace Republican Governor Kay Ivey, who is barred from seeking a third term due to Alabama's term limits.
Tuberville’s departure from the Senate is unlikely to shift the balance of power, as Republicans currently hold a 53-47 majority. Political analysts consider Alabama a safely Republican seat, though Democrats recall Doug Jones’ surprise 2017 Senate win during a special election as a rare exception.
Tuberville's run is expected to energize Alabama's conservative base, especially given his close ties to Trump and strong name recognition as a former coach. With his blend of sports fame, political loyalty, and America First rhetoric, Tuberville enters the governor’s race as a leading contender in a state deeply aligned with Republican values.
His candidacy is poised to reshape Alabama’s 2026 election landscape and may influence national GOP dynamics as Trump allies pursue leadership roles in state governments.
