U.S. Tommy Tuberville cast all of Alabama’s 50 delegates to President Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Tuberville was elected as the state’s delegation chairman by members of the Alabama Republican Party (ALGOP) executive committee earlier this year.
Flanked by fellow Alabamians, including U.S. Representative Jerry Carl (R-Mobile) and ALGOP Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Republican National Committee, John Wahl, Tuberville made the announcement.
“We cast our 50 delegates for the next President of the United States, Donald J. Trump!”
Tuberville shared the excitement for Trump’s nomination and the RNC itself in a video Monday afternoon from the floor of the convention.
As of Monday afternoon, the Republican Party formally nominated Donald Trump as its presidential nominee, cementing he and running mate J.D. Vance as the top of the GOP ticket in 2024.
“We’ll give our 50 delegates to President Trump here in about an hour, hour and fifteen minutes and do a lot of interviews,” Tuberville (R-Auburn) said. “There are a lot of great Americans here.”
“We’re looking forward to a great week, not just a great day. Possibly, President Trump could speak here tonight and introduce his new vice presidential candidate. Looking forward to that. Plus the speech on Thursday, accepting the nomination to be President number 47 of the United States of America.”
Alabama will be the first state to cast all 50 delegates for Donald J. Trump to be the next President of the United States!

Tuberville’s fellow U.S. Senator from Alabama Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) will address the RNC on Monday night.
2,500 delegates are expected to attend the Republican National Convention, where the party will meet to formally nominate its candidate for President and Vice President, and adopt a platform.
