U.S. Senate hopeful, former Auburn University football coach Tommy Tuberville accompanied President Donald Trump on Thursday as he visited Dallas for an address on the economy and other domestic matters.
Tuberville deplaned Air Force One alongside Trump upon arrival at Love Field in Dallas. He did not travel to Dallas with Trump. Instead, he met him at the airport for a meeting.
As they met aboard Air Force One, Tuberville said he the president discussed the status of the Alabama Senate race and “ways to Make America Great Again.”
In a stunning blow to his former Attorney General, Trump endorsed Tuberville ahead of the GOP primary runoff back in March.
“Tommy Tuberville is running for the U.S. Senate from the Great State of Alabama,” Trump tweeted. “He is a REAL LEADER who will never let MAGA/KAG, or our country down!”
Tuberville faces former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Jeff Sessions in the Republican primary runoff on July 14. The winner will go on to face Democrat U.S. Sen. Doug Jones in the general election in November.
