On Sunday, President Donald Trump endorsed all four Republican incumbent members of Alabama’s U.S. House delegation seeking reelection in 2026.
However, he left one unaddressed: Alabama’s open, competitive 1st Congressional District.
Trump threw his support behind U.S. Reps. Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville), Mike Rogers (R-Saks), Gary Palmer (R-Hoover) and Dale Strong (R-Huntsville). He praised their work on his “America First” agenda.
The 1st District was the lone exception made by President Trump as the race heats up in Alabama.
The south Alabama seat is open in 2026 as Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) seeks the open U.S. Senate seat, setting off a scramble among Republicans along the Gulf Coast. Former U.S. Rep. Jerry Carl has launched a comeback bid and State Rep. Rhett Marques (R-Enterprise) has entered the race with a strong early fundraising haul and a swath of heavyweight endorsements.
Below are President Trump’s endorsements of each incumbent official:
