During President-elect Donald Trump's first term, he supported the initial decision that tapped Âé¶¹´«Ã½ on the list. Under President Joe Biden, Space Command ultimately went to Colorado. 

WAAY 31 Evening Anchor Tory Dunnan asked him Wednesday if there have been any conversations on the topic in recent days. 

"Oh yeah," he said. "I would hope to say, close to 100 percent, that close to the first or second day, we'll find out that Space Command will be moving to the proper place in this country, and again, if Âé¶¹´«Ã½, wasn't the best place, I wouldn't be for it, because we need a strong military, but Âé¶¹´«Ã½ is the best place, and I think President Trump will move it back, and I think, very early in his first few days."

Previously, Tuberville said the operation would bring more than 1,000 jobs to Âé¶¹´«Ã½ in the first year alone.
