Trump Says His Agenda 'Cannot Afford' For Moore To Lose
/ CBS Colorado
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is urging voters to elect embattled Republican candidate Roy Moore in next week's Alabama Senate race in spite of sexual misconduct allegations.
Trump says at a rally in nearby Pensacola, Florida, that he needs more Republicans in the House and Senate to help him pass his agenda.
He says the GOP "cannot afford to lose a seat in the very, very close" U.S. Senate.
Trump is also blasting Moore's Democratic opponent Doug Jones, saying he would be a "total puppet" of Democratic congressional leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.
Moore is facing multiple allegations that he sexually assaulted teenage girls decades ago, including one who said he molested her when she was 14 and he was in his 30s.
