After weeks of speculation, Sen. Tommy Tuberville on Tuesday launched his campaign for Alabama’s governor’s office.
He’ll be heavily favored to win next year’s Republican gubernatorial primary, after other top potential candidates decided to stay out of the race. His decision also opens up a spot in the Senate that is likely to set off a scramble in Alabama politics.
The senator formally announced his decision Tuesday afternoon on “The Will Cain Show,” after launching a “Coach Tuberville for Governor” website.
