Paul Finebaum Weighs Leaving ESPN to Seek Alabama Senate Seat as a Republican

He told OutKick he plans a decision within 30–45 days as Alabama’s January qualifying window approaches.

Overview

  • Finebaum said the assassination of Charlie Kirk prompted him to reassess priorities and consider public office.
  • He reported that one or two people in Washington reached out to gauge his interest in a run.
  • The potential bid would target the seat likely to open as Sen. Tommy Tuberville pursues the governor’s office.
  • A registered Republican who says he voted for Donald Trump, Finebaum added he would accept if the president personally asked him to run.
  • He acknowledged he would likely have to leave ESPN, has moved back to Alabama and plans to re-register there, as a competitive GOP primary field forms.
