Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., is telling senators that he plans to run for governor of Alabama, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation. One of the sources told NBC News, "He's been telling anyone and everyone."
Tuberville has long been rumored to be considering a campaign for governor to succeed Gov. Kay Ivey, R-Ala., who is term-limited. Tuberville's Senate term ends in January 2027.
Asked for comment Friday, Tuberville's office pointed to a social media post Thursday from the senator responding to a report from the Alabama outlet Yellowhammer News that he was set to launch a campaign for governor soon.
"While I appreciate all the interest, Suzanne and I are still praying about how to best serve the people of Alabama. When I have an official announcement about my future, you’ll hear it directly from me," Tuberville wrote on X, referring to his wife.
