Trump Stumps for Candidates in Deep Red Alabama and Says He'll Be Back Again Next Week

Trump used the rally to back Alabama Republicans and highlight the $3.2 billion Mobile River Bridge project, which officials called the state’s largest transportation project.

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump rallied supporters in Mobile, Alabama, highlighting the $3.2 billion Mobile River Bridge and Bayway project as evidence of federal investment in the state.
  • Trump's visit reflects his party's uphill climb to retain Congress in November, as polls show only about 3 in 10 U.S. adults approve of his performance as president.
  • Trump urged supporters to back Rhett Marques, who is challenging Democratic incumbent Shomari Figures in Alabama's 2nd Congressional District, and Sen. Tommy Tuberville, running for governor.
  • Former U.S. Sen. Doug Jones hosted a competing town hall on Friday, accusing Tuberville of prioritizing national agendas over Alabama families struggling with rising prices.
  • Trump plans to return to Tuscaloosa next week for the Alabama-Georgia football game, while Tuberville predicted fuel prices will soon fall and Republicans will defeat Democrats at the polls.
