The video was originally posted alongside a caption noting that Tuberville's comments seemed to indicate his plans to challenge votes cast by certain states' Electoral College representatives.

Trump's retweet closely coincided with his appearance on "Uncovering the Truth," a radio talkshow series featuring Rudy Giuliani, on Sunday morning. Giuliani, Trump's personal attorney and the former mayor of New York City, became a leading member of the president's legal team as his campaign pursued numerous lawsuits endeavoring to undermine the election's outcome.

Couched between insistent, unfounded claims that voter fraud caused his loss to Democratic President-elect Joe Biden last month, Trump referenced a conversation between himself and Tuberville during the interview. He said their correspondence took place on Saturday night, fueling suspicions of a possible electoral challenge ahead from the Senate newcomer.

"I spoke to a great gentleman, Tommy Tuberville, last night," Trump said Sunday. "And he is so excited. He said...he said, 'You made me the most popular politician in the United States.' He said, 'I can't believe it.' He's great. Great senator."

Speaking Thursday at a campaign rally in Georgia for incumbent Republican senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler ahead of January's runoff elections, Tuberville echoed many of the Trump campaign's baseless allegations that Biden's win was constructed by Democrats scheming to "steal" the election.
