Alabama's gubernatorial race remains firmly in Republican hands per trader consensus, reflecting the state's unbroken string of GOP governors since 1998 and control of all statewide offices amid a Republican supermajority in the legislature. Incumbent Gov. Kay Ivey's May announcement declining re-election opened a competitive GOP primary, where Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth leads early polls at around 30%, followed by Attorney General Steve Marshall, with no high-profile Democrats yet entering to challenge. Recent polling in hypothetical matchups shows Republicans ahead by 20-30 points, underscoring weak Democratic infrastructure and voter registration gaps. Odds could shift with a scandal-plagued GOP nominee, national Democratic surge, or star Democratic recruit before the March 2026 primaries.
