Paul Finebaum reveals surprising ESPN block on Donald Trump interview while weighing Senate run in Alabama

ESPN's Paul Finebaum revealed the network blocked his 2019 interview with then-President Trump, citing a "no politics with sports" rule, despite Trump attending a major football game. Now, the 70-year-old is considering a U.S. Senate run in Alabama for 2026, influenced by a conservative activist's assassination. Finebaum, a registered Republican, hopes to decide within 30-45 days.
