Roy Moore, accused of sexual misconduct, will run for Senate again in Alabama despite Trump's wishes
The former state Supreme Court chief justice lost a 2017 special election to Democratic Sen. Doug Jones despite Alabama's deep red hue.
His decision makes it harder for Republicans to hold their 53-47 Senate majority. Jones seeks a full term in the Senate after his election to replace Jeff Sessions, who left the Senate in 2017 to become Trump's first attorney general. In a statement Thursday, the Senate Leadership Fund — a super PAC aligned with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell — said "we believe most Alabama Republicans realize that nominating Roy Moore would be gift wrapping this Senate seat for [Senate Minority Leader] Chuck Schumer." The National Republican Senatorial Committee pointed CNBC to a statement made last month by its chairman, Sen. Todd Young of Indiana.
