Alabama Democrats are trying to gain ground in the traditionally Republican state’s upcoming Senate race as the party charts its path after 2024.

Kyle Sweetser, Dakarai Larriett and Mark Wheeler are all vying for the party nomination in the election to fill the Senate seat being left open by Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who is running for governor.

Sweetser, a former Donald Trump supporter who switched to the Democratic Party, will deliver his first major speech in Alabama’s open Senate race on Tuesday. He describes himself as a “different kind of Democrat” and plans to address a cross-section of Democratic voters in Mobile.

“I’m a different kind of Democrat. I'm a new Democrat, and I'm willing to work with everyone for what's best for not only Alabama, but America,” Sweetser said.
