Since the Constitution prescribes that there be two Senators from each State, the Senate is presently composed of 100 Members. Also pursuant to the Constitution, a Senator must be at least 30 years of age, have been a citizen of the United States for nine years, and, when elected, be a resident of the State for which the Senator is chosen. The term of office is six years and approximately one-third of the total membership of the Senate is elected every second year.
David McCormick had a clear explanation for why his fellow Republican, Dr. Mehmet Oz, lost a critical Pennsylvania Senate seat last year: Voters viewed the daytime television celebrity as an interloper from New Jersey with limited ties to the state he hoped to represent.
“People want to know that the person that they’re voting for ‘gets it,’” McCormick, who narrowly lost to Oz in a GOP primary, said in March when asked to offer a postmortem of the general election defeat. “And part of ‘getting it’ is understanding that you just didn’t come in yesterday.”

But the reality is more complex. While McCormick does own a home in Pittsburgh, a review of public records, real estate listings and footage from recent interviews indicates he still lives on Connecticut’s “Gold Coast,” one of the densest concentrations of wealth in America. The former hedge fund CEO rents a $16 million mansion in Westport that features a 1,500-bottle wine cellar, an elevator and a “private waterfront resort” overlooking Long Island Sound.
The trappings of a wealthy enclave, well outside Pennsylvania, offer a jarring contrast with the political identity McCormick has sought to cultivate, which emphasizes his upbringing buck hunting, his Army service and his desire to serve his home state.
The Washington Post reported the former Auburn coach does not own property in Alabama — but has two properties in Florida.
Tuberville’s office told News 19 today Tuberville lives in Auburn, when he’s not in Washington D.C. and he has a vacation home in Florida.
A spokesperson told News 19, “Coach lives in Auburn.”
But this isn’t the first time the subject of Tuberville’s Florida home has drawn scrutiny.

Recall: Jen Jordan was present at that hearing in December of 2020 when Rudy Giuliani and other Trump supporters spread lies about election fraud in Georgia.
Just spotted power walking through the Fulton courthouse lobby: Gabe Sterling of the Secretary of State’s office (he’s on the left). He wouldn’t answer any of my qs but it wouldn’t be surprising if he’s testifying before the grand jury pic.twitter.com/35UMEOlNil
