Tommy Tuberville

In the 2020 Senate race for AL Senate seat, Tommy Tuberville (R) won with 60.1% of the vote, defeating Gordon Douglas Jones (D) who received 39.7%. A third candidate also appeared on the ballot. Tommy Tuberville's 20.4-point advantage over the runner-up confirmed a comfortable win.

This was an open-seat race with no incumbent running — Richard C. Shelby (R) previously held the seat. Open seats typically attract stronger candidates and heavier spending from both parties. The 2020 presidential election drove higher voter turnout, which can help or hurt down-ballot candidates depending on the top of the ticket.
