Summary
The Alabama lieutenant governor race is heating up as Secretary of State Wes Allen leads the latest poll with 41.9%, narrowly ahead of former GOP chair John Wahl at 38.4%—but with nearly 20% still undecided. What matters most? Turnout. Among likely voters, Wahl actually leads 42.5% to 40%. Both candidates are staking their claims on Trump loyalty, with Wahl’s initial primary win (41% to Allen’s 38%) setting the stage. The runoff is June 16, with the winner facing Democrat Phillip Ensler in November. With the undecideds still in play, this race is far from over—and could swing either way.
