“If Alabama elects liberal Democrat Doug Jones, all of our progress will be stopped full,” Trump says in the recording. “He will vote with the Washington liberals every time.”
Trump threw his full support behind Moore last week, but this is his most direct campaigning activity for the candidate. At a campaign rally in Pensacola, Fla. on Friday, Trump told his supporters in Alabama to vote for Moore in the Tuesday election.
“We need a Republican in the House, we need a Republican in the Senate. We need more of them,” he said Friday.
Moore, who is polling slightly ahead of Jones, has been accused by nearly 10 women of sexual misconduct or assault. Many of the women said Moore pursued them as teenagers, including one who alleged that Moore touched her sexually when she was 14 and he was 32. Moore has denied the allegations.
