Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2026
June 11, 2026
Well, thank you very much, Barry. And it was really a lot of fun getting to know you. You're a terrific guy, and you love Alabama like I do. I won it every single time, and that includes primaries. It would be six-and-oh. And there's a reason: They like me, and I like them.
But it's really important to get out and vote in this election. It's going on your State 5 days from now. Think about that: 5 days, in Alabama.
And Barry is a fantastic guy. He's been a friend of mine for a long time. And I'm asking you to get out and vote for Congressman Barry Moore in the Republican primary runoff election for
U.S. Senate. He'll be a great Senator. He'll represent you well. Barry will fight for you in the Senate like no one has ever fought before.
Although, I have to tell you, Tommy is great. And Tommy is going to do very well for Governor. So I think you've got a good one there too. I have to give him a little statement. He was fantastic, Tommy Tuberville.
But the polls open Tuesday, June 16 at 7 a.m., and close at 7 p.m. So go and vote for Barry. Barry Moore has my complete and total endorsement. He's the best "America-first" candidate you can imagine, and he's been with me since the very beginning. He was one of the earliest people, maybe the earliest elected official in the entire country to endorse me all the way back in 2015.
So he did a good job for me, and hopefully he did a good job for you. I think that's why you give me votes where I win by record. We had the record-highest vote three times—the highest vote in the history of Alabama. So that's something very special. I made the commencement address at University of Alabama, and it was great. We had incredible people.
Barry is proud—very proud to be a veteran. He's dedicated his entire life to fighting for Alabama. Before he ran for Congress, as you probably know, Barry was a highly successful businessman and an accomplished State representative. People loved him.
He was even named Alabama's most effective legislator. Think of that. He was named Alabama's most effective legislator. I didn't know that, Barry. Now I even like you more. And I guarantee he's going to be one of the best there is in the U.S. Senate. In Congress, Barry has been essential to being, really, the friend of MAGA like almost nobody else. He voted to help us fully secure our southern border.
So we had—the numbers just came out. Over the last 11 months, we had nobody coming through our southern border that wasn't allowed to come in. We take people that want to come in. They have to come in legally. We had nobody.
We had 25 million people come in through the Biden administration, which was the worst administration, probably, in history. He was the worst President in history. He was terrible. And we can't ever let a thing like that happen. What he did to this country, it's hard to believe. But Barry voted "yes" on the largest-ever investment in the United States military. He was a strong advocate for that, as I am.
And probably you heard that today we settled up with Iran. We made a great deal. There'll be no nuclear weapons. People will start coming home very soon. It's pretty much—pretty much completed. We got everything we wanted. The big thing is, there will be no nuclear weapons in
Iran. That means they're not developed and not purchased. They had a clause: They won't develop. I said, "What about purchasing?" They said, "Well, we didn't cover that." So, 2 days later, they agreed to that too. We got everything we wanted.
But he also helped—Barry—to deliver the largest working-class tax cuts in American history, including no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security for our great seniors, and they are great. As your next Senator, Barry will continue to fight tirelessly to grow Alabama's economy, lower your cost of living, and promote "Made in the U.S.A." And he'll champion American energy dominance, keep our border secure—the safest border we've ever had. Number one. We—it was the most unsafe in history, and now it's the safest in history just a short time later.
And by the way, I'm in Washington, DC. It was a very crime-ridden place. Now it's one of the safest cities in the country. And you probably see we fixed up all the fountains, we fixed up all the statues. Everything is beautiful. New grass. It's come—you come to Washington, but now it's one of the safest cities in the country. It was one of the most unsafe cities.
And we did that with—in Louisiana, New Orleans. We had—we sent our people there, and crime is down 77 percent. In Memphis, Tennessee, crime is down 79 percent. And in Washington, I would say it's probably 92, 93 percent. It's actually amazing. And it's a lesser form of crime, so it's really been amazing.
But Barry will also ensure—and he's been totally with law and order; protect our veterans; safeguard our sacred elections, which are horrible, frankly—we need the SAVE America Act so badly; and protect our always-under-siege Second Amendment. And I've done that for a long time now. It's not easy with these people that we have in Washington. It's not easy at all. But I've saved it a hundred percent.
Most importantly, Barry is the best person to take the radical-left Democrats and stop their efforts to throw open our borders, and they will throw them back open. They had an open-border policy where people were allowed to come into our country who were from prisons. They were criminals, they were drug dealers, they were from mental institutions, and they were murderers. And they were allowed to freely come into our country, and we're getting them out. We got many of them out.
We had 11,888 murderers allowed in our country, and we've gotten most of them out—many of them out. Some of them murdered more than one people. About 52 percent murdered more than one. One murdered seven people, and he was allowed to be in our country. We got them the hell out of here. It's so terrible that—what Biden did to this country.
But another thing that they wanted is, let men play in women's sports. And I said, "You've got to be kidding." And Barry is with me on just about everything. I don't—I can't imagine there's anything that he's not with me on.
But also, while we're at it, John Wahl is a terrific guy. He's running for Lieutenant Governor.
I hope you know that he has my complete and total endorsement also.
And, as I said, Governor—I'll tell you, he's going to be a great Governor, Tommy Tuberville.
It sounds right. He was a wonderful football coach. He's a great friend of mine. He was a great Senator, actually. I was a little disappointed he left the Senate, but you're going to have a replacement that's going to be phenomenal. But Tommy Tuberville is running for Governor, and I hope you're going to vote for him too.
So Barry Moore is a true fighter, and I'm asking Alabama to get out and vote, vote, vote for Barry Moore for the U.S. Senate. And, again, polls open on Tuesday, June 16 at 7 a.m., and they
close at 7 p.m. And for more information on the election polling locations, go to swampthevoteUSA.com. That's swampthevoteUSA.com.
So I just want to thank all of the people from Alabama. You're unbelievable people. You look like friends. I love it. I love the State. We moved a lot of big agencies there, and you know all about it—the biggest. They were all after other—other States were after them. We moved them into Alabama. They fought for it, and they got it.
And I just want to thank you very much. And, Barry, good luck. And you'll be great. Go out and vote for Barry on Tuesday. And, Barry, I'll turn it back to you.
Thank you very much, Alabama. Thank you very much.
