U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville is considering a run for governor of Alabama in 2026, citing his potential to make a greater impact as the CEO of the state. Tuberville has not made a final decision yet but has been encouraged by the response from people in Alabama and fellow senators who were previously governors. He believes he has a good chance to win the governor’s office. Despite the appeal of the governorship, Tuberville acknowledged the difficulty of leaving his seat in the U.S. Senate, where Republicans currently hold a majority. Current Gov. Kay Ivey is term-limited, creating an open race for governor in Alabama. Other potential contenders include Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth and Agriculture Commissioner Rick Pate. Tuberville’s background as a former Auburn football coach has attracted attention to his potential candidacy, with speculation growing after a recent conversation with Punchbowl News. Although Tuberville has not discussed a run with President Donald Trump, he remains focused on the possibility of running for Alabama’s highest office. His strong connections in Alabama and support from local officials suggest a competitive race ahead.
