Tommy Tuberville wins the Republican nomination for Alabama governor after defeating two challengers in the party’s selection process on Tuesday night, according to reporting from multiple outlets. PBS NewsHour notes that Tuberville does not seek a second Senate term and instead launched his gubernatorial bid, positioning the nomination as the next step in his planned move from the U.S. Senate to state office. The Breitbart account also states that Tuberville secures the Republican nomination for governor and highlights his victory over two other candidates.
