2026 U.S. Senate election in Alabama
Alabama’s 2026 U.S. Senate race is for the Class II Senate seat representing the state, with the incumbent not seeking reelection because Tommy Tuberville is running for governor instead. Ballotpedia rates the general election as safely or solidly Republican, so the main competition is in the Republican primary, where several candidates are vying for the nomination. The race has drawn attention because of Trump’s endorsement of Barry Moore, Steve Marshall’s statewide profile as attorney general, and Jared Hudson’s outsider campaign, while Democrats are fielding a smaller primary field in a heavily Republican state.
