In a double shocker during recent live broadcasts, Senator Tommy Tuberville announced he’s leaving the Senate to run for Alabama governor, while House Speaker Mike Johnson warned of deepening GOP divides over Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.”
Tuberville, backed by Trump, says he wants executive power to push reforms faster. With no major challengers and Trump’s blessing, his path to the governor’s mansion looks clear — and strategic.
Johnson, meanwhile, sounded the alarm over internal GOP resistance to Trump’s judicial and immigration reform bill, calling out “activist judges” and pressing for unity. But signs of fracture are growing.
Bottom line: Trump’s grip on the GOP is driving major moves. Tuberville’s pivot and Johnson’s plea aren’t random — they’re part of a broader Trump-aligned power play ahead of 2024.
