From An AL.COM story

"Democratic political strategist James Carville recently weighed in on Doug Jones’ chance of winning the 2026 race for governor of Alabama.

“Doug is in the hunt,” Carville told his Politics War Room podcast co-host Al Hunt in a video this week. “If we’re ever going to succeed in a state like Alabama it’s going to be with a guy like Doug,” he said, calling Jones an “outstanding human.”

 

Carville pointed to U.S. Sen Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., as Jones’ best hope for winning the 2026 race for governor. He said Tuberville is the “gold standard of stupidity,” when asked if Jones has a shot. Carville added that he thinks Tuberville’s lack of intelligence could only be topped by U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Miss."
