Representative Barry Moore announces a seat in the Alabama Senate during the 2026 elections

First on Fox: Another republican of the room has its eyes cut in a siege of the Senate in mid-term of 2026.

representative Barry MooreR-Ala., Told Fox News Digital in an interview that he planned to present himself for the headquarters of Senator Tommy Tuberville in the upper room.

Moore, who represents the 1st district of the southern Congress of Alabama since 2021, has known itself as a fiscal hawk with a long -standing story to support President Donald Trump. Indeed, he was the first elected official in the country to approve Trump during his first candidacy for his functions in 2015.

“I think my number one job is to protect the freedom of the people and support the president in this process,” said Moore. “And so, for us, it is an opportunity to continue to fight for the first program of America, and to make sure that we have conservatives in the Alabama Senate who are really the voice of the people.”

And one of its main concerns in Washington is the ever -increasing national debt, which has approached 37 billions of dollars and cash, according to the Fox Business National Debt Tracker.

One of its main priorities by helping to manufacture Trump’s “Big and Beautiful Bill” was to apply downward pressure on congress spending habits to reach around 1.5 billion of dollars in expense discounts over the next decade.

“I think we will have to hold the spending line,” said Moore. “But once again, it did not get this way overnight. You are not going to repair it overnight. So you have to do it gradually.”

Moore, 58, is not alone in the race to replace Tuberville, who announced earlier this year that he would make an offer for the governor’s mansion after having a single mandate in the upper room. He joined the ALABAMA Attorney General Steve Marshall, and the former Navy Seal Jared Hudson in the Republican primary.

There is also a trio of candidates who run on the democratic side, notably Kyle Sweetser, Dakarai Larriett and Mark Wheeler II.

And despite his good conservative faith – he is a member of the House Freedom Caucus and praised his deeply conservative voting file – Moore believed that the number one question in the Senate, and the Congress in general, is the growing partisan fracture.

He noted that when he came to Washington in 2021, he was disappointed that the Republicans and Democrats did not work more together in the lower room under the former speaker of the Nancy Pelosi Chamber, D-Calif.

“I think most DC people are principles,” he said. “They try to do the right thing. There is perfectly, and it is sometimes the enemy of practice. And so we try to make sure that even on the” big and beautiful bill “, it was not perfect. There were 435 versions of Perfect in the House, but have people in principle at the table and say for our country – I think we have what we do with senators.”

“I don’t think we have to look at the opposite side like the enemy still,” he said. “And I think we must also keep in mind that they represent areas, and they have a different experience in life.”

However, despite his desire to create bipartite breakthroughs in the upper chamber, which is a must in most legislative fights, given the 60 -voting filibuster threshold, Moore supports a change in the Senate rules for confirmations to explode through the blocking of the Democrats of the Senate of Trump’s candidates.

He supports the shortening of the time of debate on the candidates, one of the options on the table for the moment when the legislators come back from their break in August, and argued that the democrats “play the obstructionist” despite the fact that Trump won Gros in the 2024 elections.

“The American people are fed up with this, so I say that we change the rules and allow these candidates to get employment and start doing the work so that they can help the president to carry out his agenda,” he said.
