Paul Finebaum is nearing a decision on whether he'll run for Senate in 2026.
The seat is open due to U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) running for governor instead of re-election. Other announced Republican candidates are Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise), Jared Hudson, Morgan Murphy and Rodney Walker.
Finebaum told Jewish Insider on Monday, "It's true, I've received a lot of calls encouraging me to run for Senate. So many of those calls have the same theme: Alabamians aren't looking for someone running for the Senate as a job promotion. They want a senator ready to fight for their families, for conservative values and for President Trump's agenda."
"We all have a belief system, things that drive us and make us who we are, faith is a big part of that for me. I'm praying about the best path forward for me and my family," he added. "I'm flattered that so many people think I can serve in that role for them. Like I tell everyone who calls me or stops me at the grocery store, I'll have something to say soon."
According to JI, Finebaum has "given himself a deadline of the first week in December to decide."
