Late Saturday, President Donald Trump announced he was backing U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) in Alabama's contested U.S. Senate primary.
Trump endorsed Moore, who represented Alabama's second congressional district from 2020 until 2025 and currently represents the first congressional district since the beginning of last year, on his social media platform, Truth Social.
Congressman Barry Moore, an America First Patriot who has been with me from the very beginning (he was the first Elected Official in the Country to Endorse me!), is running for the United States Senate in Alabama, a place I love and WON BIG in 2016, 2020, and 2024, getting the highest vote in that great State’s history.
A very successful Businessman, Civic Leader, and Highly Respected State Legislator prior to becoming a distinguished Congressman, Barry has dedicated his life to serving his Community. As your next Senator, Barry will continue to fight tirelessly to Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Champion American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Strengthen our Brave Military/Veterans, Safeguard our Elections, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment.Barry Moore is a good friend, fighter, and WINNER, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next United States Senator from Alabama — BARRY WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!
In the Trump endorsement, Trump mentioned Moore was one of the first elected officials to endorse him, having done so at Trump's August 2015 rally at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile while still serving in the Alabama Legislature.
Moore faces Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, retired U.S. Navy SEAL Jared Hudson, former Tuberville aide Morgan Murphy and Lineville businessman Rodney Walker for the Republican nomination.
