Doug Jones, Alabama’s former Democratic senator, won the Democratic nomination for governor on Tuesday, advancing to a general-election showdown with Republican Tommy Tuberville.
Tuberville had already secured the GOP nomination, turning the race into a rematch of their 2020 Senate contest, which Tuberville won by 20 percentage points.
The governor’s race will decide who succeeds term-limited Republican Gov. Kay Ivey, with Tuberville entering as the clear favorite in deeply conservative Alabama.
Alabama has not elected a Democratic governor since Don Siegelman’s 1998 victory, underscoring the steep challenge Jones faces in November.
