ESPN Analyst Paul Finebaum is Considering Running for U.S. Senate as Republican | The Gateway Pundit | by Anthony Scott

ESPN Analyst Paul Finebaum is Considering Running for U.S. Senate as Republican | The Gateway Pundit | by Anthony Scott

In a surprising twist of fate that feels more like a plot from a sports drama than actual political news, ESPN’s veteran college football analyst, Paul Finebaum, has hinted at a possible run for the U.S. Senate.

In a conversation with OutKick, Finebaum disclosed his considerations to enter the Republican race in Alabama, aiming to succeed Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who is predicted to abandon his Senate post to pursue the governor’s mansion.

As highlighted by The Gateway Pundit, Tuberville has made clear his intentions to vacate his Senate seat to contest in the 2026 gubernatorial elections in Alabama.

Finebaum admitted, “A couple of people from Washington reached out to gauge my interest in entering politics—something I had never considered. It was honestly beyond my realm of possibility.”

This reflection seems to have taken an unexpected turn, catalyzed by the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, prompting Finebaum to entertain the idea of transitioning from sports commentary to the political realm. Additionally, he publicly declared his support for President Trump for the first time.

According to ESPN:

Paul Finebaum, the host of SEC Network, expressed on Monday that he might consider stepping away from ESPN to vie for Alabama’s U.S. Senate seat.

The 70-year-old analyst stated during his recent interview with OutKick that he would seek the Republican nomination to replace former Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville, who has announced his intent to run for governor in the 2026 elections. Tuberville’s current Senate term is set to conclude in 2027.

With a January 26, 2026, qualifying deadline looming, Finebaum acknowledged that a run would likely compel him to leave his current hosting and analysis roles. He indicated a decision could come within the next month or so.

Initially dismissive of a political career, Finebaum remarked that the assassination of Charlie Kirk shifted his perspective, as he had received messages from “a couple of folks in Washington” measuring his interest in the political arena.

Despite initial reluctance, Finebaum began to contemplate a potential candidacy more seriously after Bruce Pearl, Auburn’s men’s basketball coach and Trump ally, decided against running for office.

If Finebaum does choose to enter the race, he will find himself in a competitive primary against Republican Representative Barry Moore (AL-01) and Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, both of whom have formally launched their bids for Tuberville’s vacant seat.
