Tuberville, Jones to face off in Alabama governor’s race
Sen. Tommy Tuberville secured the Republican nomination for Alabama governor Tuesday and will face off against former U.S. Sen. Doug Jones in November.
The Republican primary election to find a replacement for Tubervillw in the U.S. Senate was too close to call late Tuesday night.
Tuberville had received the endorsement of President Donald Trump.
Both Jones and Tuberville are running to replace Gov. Kay Ivey, who could not run for reelection because of the state’s term limits.
“He is a Lifelong Leader, both on and off the field — a true WINNER!” Trump posted on social media Monday.
Tuberville, 71, has served in Congress since 2021. His campaign has focused on immigration enforcement and workforce development.
“Like President Trump, I’ll continue to protect common sense and stand up for our shared conservative values in Montgomery,” his website reads.
Jones, a former U.S. Senator from Alabama, has called for the expansion of Medicaid and regulating AI data centers in his campaign.
“I am running for governor to make a difference in the lives of all Alabamians,” Jones said.
