Trump Endorses Barry Moore in Alabama Senate Primary Ahead of Runoff

President Donald Trump endorsed Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL) for the Alabama Senate seat on June 6, 2026, as Moore prepares for a runoff primary election against Jared Hudson, a former Navy SEAL sniper. The Senate seat is open due to Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) running for governor. Moore, a member of the Freedom Caucus, received 39.2% of the vote in the initial GOP primary, while Hudson garnered 25.6%. Polls indicate a competitive race, with one pro-Hudson poll showing him leading by one point, while another backed by Club for Growth shows Moore ahead by 17 points. The candidates differ on their approach to the Senate filibuster, with Moore advocating for its elimination to pass Trump's SAVE Act, while Hudson supports reforming it to a talking filibuster. Moore expressed gratitude for Trump's endorsement and urged Alabama voters to support him.
