During the 2026 midterm election cycle, Democratic candidate Everett Wess campaigned for the U.S. Senate in Alabama. Wess, an attorney from Birmingham, ran on a platform of independence and criticized Republican opponent Barry Moore, alleging that Moore would be beholden to former President Donald Trump. Following the election, Republican Representative Barry Moore won the seat, defeating Wess with approximately 55.5 percent of the vote to Wess’s 44.5 percent. Moore, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, received endorsements from Donald Trump and JD Vance, as well as support from the Fairshake super PAC. Moore succeeds Tommy Tuberville. In the gubernatorial race, Tommy Tuberville won reelection to the state's executive office, defeating Democrat Doug Jones. Tuberville secured 52.1 percent of the vote against 47.9 percent for Jones. This victory was a rematch of the 2020 Senate race between the two politicians. The results showed significant shifts in local dynamics, particularly in Madison County, where Democrats saw a major upswing in turnout, winning 24 out of 28 contested partisan races. While Republicans maintained their supermajorities in both the Alabama House and Senate, the margins were tightened by Democratic gains in several legislative seats.
