Former Auburn University football coach Tommy Tuberville launched a radio ad today for his campaign for the U.S. Senate, repeating an assertion hes made on the campaign trail, that the Donald Trump presidency is the result of divine intervention.
Ive coached for the last 30 to 40 years, Tuberville says on the ad. Ive been around young people, and I believe if we dont get God back in our schools, this country has got no chance of surviving. Im a Christian conservative Republican. I believe in the sanctity of life, and I say it with all of my heart God sent us Donald Trump because God knew we were in trouble.
Tuberville is one of seven candidates running for the Republican nomination for the Senate seat now held by Sen. Doug Jones, a Democrat who is seeking reelection. The primary is March 3, five weeks from Tuesday.
Others running for the seat include former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, U.S. Rep. Bradley Byrne of Fairhope, former Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, state Rep. Arnold Mooney of Birmingham, businessman Stanley Adair of Haleyville, and Ruth Page Nelson of Dothan.
