Former college football coach and current U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville has won the Republican nomination for governor in Alabama.
Tuberville, who was the head coach at Auburn and three other major college programs, entered politics with his election to the U.S. Senate in 2020 and opted not to seek a second term. During his time in the U.S. Senate, Tuberville was closely aligned with President Donald Trump, who endorsed Tuberville in 2020 and has also backed his bid for governor.
The November governor's race could feature a rematch between Tuberville and former U.S. Sen. Doug Jones, who became the last Democrat to win a statewide race in Alabama during a special election in 2017.

Yet another clobbering for Doug Jones?
Yup.
Any relation to Toobin Loobin?
We’ll miss him in the Senate. He was an absolutely GREAT Senator. I’m sure he’ll make a great governor.
“...entered politics with his election to the U.S. Senate in 2020 and opted not to seek a second term.”
Working with commies and RINOs in the senate would drive most any sane person out of that political quicksand serving only one term, good for Tommy.
So, is there an actual Trump supporter nominated by the R’s to replace him, or are we getting a RINO?
You won’t have to worry about Alabama.
War Damn Eagle.
This is great news!
We will miss him in the Senate but cleaning up the old boy network in the south red states sounds super!
BREAKING: Former Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., coauthor of sweeping Dodd-Frank Act after 2008 financial crisis, dead at 86.
Good job, Coach. Good luck in Alabama!
Will the Roll Tide fans vote for an ex-Auburn coach? Yes and he’ll be a great governor!
