JUST IN: Trump-Endorsed Sen. Tommy Tuberville WINS Alabama Gubernatorial Primary


In another huge win for MAGA, Sen. Tommy Tuberville absolutely crushed it in Alabama’s Republican gubernatorial primary!

Tuberville was endorsed by President Trump and easily coasted to victory against his opponents.

As you may know, Tommy Tuberville spent a decade as the head coach at Auburn University before being elected to the Senate in 2020.

He is fiercely America-First and one of President Trump’s top allies.

Fox News reported further:

Tuberville defeated longshot rivals Ken McFeeters, an insurance agency owner, and Will Santivasci, a small business owner, to capture the Republican nomination in the solidly red state in the race to succeed term-limited GOP Gov. Kay Ivey.

A former longtime college football coach — who spent 10 years as head coach at Auburn University in Alabama — Tuberville was elected to the Senate in 2020. Tuberville ran as an outsider who was closely aligned with Trump.

“God bless the great state of Alabama!” Tuberville wrote in a social media post after clinching the nomination.

Trump, on the eve of the primary, doubled down on his support for Tuberville.

“He is a Lifelong Leader, both on and off the field — A true WINNER!” the president posted on social media.

Tuberville, who was the overwhelming polling and fundraising frontrunner in the primary, will now be the clear favorite to win November’s gubernatorial election in Alabama, a state that Trump carried by 30 points in 2024.

This November, Tuberville will face off with Democrat gubernatorial candidate Doug Jones — whom Tuberville already defeated once before in his Senate race.

Per The Hill:

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R) is projected to face off this fall against former Sen. Doug Jones (D) in the race for governor of deep red Alabama, according to Decision Desk HQ.

Jones, who gained national attention after defeating former Sen. Roy Moore (R-Ala.) in a 2017 Senate special election, went on to lose to Tuberville by roughly 20 points in his 2020 bid for a full term.

This fall, they’ll show down again in a race to replace term-limited Republican Gov. Kay Ivey.

The GOP has controlled the seat for more than two decades, but Jones is seen as a major get for his party. Cook Political Report, which rates the race as solidly Republican, considers Jones “quite possibly the only Alabama Democrat with a prayer of competing statewide.”

Congrats, Sen. Tuberville!

Alabama will be lucky to have you as their next Governor, but you will be missed in the Senate.

CONGRATS COACH!

Trump endorsed Sen. Tommy Tuberville just CRUSHED his Republican primary and is headed to become the next Governor of Alabama!

AWESOME! Coach Tuberville is going to be an INCREDIBLE America First governor for the Heart of Dixie!

He’s been an absolute WARRIOR in the Senate fighting for Trump’s agenda and now he’s taking that same energy to Montgomery.

We’ll miss him in the Senate, but Alabama just got a massive upgrade!
