First on Fox: Another House Republican has set its eyes on the Senate seat in 2026 midnters.

Moore, who has represented Southern Alabama 1 Congress district since 2021, styled himself as a fiscal hawk with prolonged history of President Donald Trump’s support. In fact, he was the first elected officer in the country to support Trump during his first run for the office in 2015.

“I think my number one job is to protect people’s freedom and support the President in that process,” said Moore. “And therefore, for us, this is an opportunity to continue to fight for the first agenda of America, and also make sure that we have conservatives in the Senate from Alabama who are actually the voice of the people.”

According to the Fox Business National Date Tracker, Washington has a continuous rising national debt, with $ 37 trillion and counting.

When helping Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” preparing, one of his top priorities was to apply pressure to the Congress’s spending habits to get approximately $ 1.5 trillion in the next decade, the downward pressure on the habits of the Congress.

He said that when he came to Washington in 2021, he was disappointed that Republicans and Democrats did not work together in the lower room under former house speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

“I think most of the people in DC are royal,” he said. “They are trying to do the right thing. There is perfect, and it is sometimes an enemy of practical. And so we try to ensure that even on ‘big, beautiful bills’, it was not right. It was not right. 435 versions were correct in the House, but royal people come to the table and say that we can get a practical solution.”

“I don’t think we have to always see the opposing side as an enemy,” he said. “And I think we have to keep in mind that they represent areas, and they have a different experience in life.”
