U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) thinks his party could have done a better job at winning some of the U.S. Senate elections this past November.

While the GOP secured a 53 to 47 majority in the 2024 elections, Tuberville said Republicans would have won a larger majority if things we done a little differently.

“We took our eye off the ball … We should have 56, 57 Republican senators,” Tuberville said on “Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM. “But things were done the wrong way in a lot of these states. The American people are sick and tired of wondering, ‘If we go vote, is it going to count.’ This will be our last chance. So if we don’t do it the first year or so, it won’t get done.”

The senator named a few close races where Republicans should have been able to secure a victory.

“If you look at the underlying elections — one in Nevada, one in Arizona, one in Michigan, and one in Wisconsin – all four of those were in play for the Republicans right at the end,” he argued. “In fact, two of them were way ahead, and they lost in the last few days.”

Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.) won against her Republican opponent Eric Hovde by less than 1 percentage point, Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) defeated Republican Sam Brown by less than 2 percentage points, Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) beat Republican Kari Lake (R-Ariz.) by 50.1 percent to 47.7 percent, and Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) won against former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) by less than half a percentage point.

Despite the slim majority, Tuberville said he is hopeful about what President-elect Donald Trump and the Republican Congress can accomplish in the next couple of years.

“Help is coming. The cavalry is on its way,” he said. “We’ve got somewhere around 40 days when we got to take this country back over. And not President Trump and his administration, but the American taxpayer, they deserve relief…But help’s coming. It’s not going to happen overnight, but we’ve got to get President Trump’s coaching staff, as I would call it, all together, all his nominees together. We’ve got to turn them loose.”
