By ZEKE MILLER Associated Press WASHINGTON - Playing all sides in the Alabama Senate race, President Donald Trump made it known Monday he won't set foot in the state on behalf of embattled Republican Roy Moore, even as he intensified his insistence that voters must never elect Moore's Democratic foe.
Sixty percent of voters nationwide said Alabama Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore should withdraw from the election set for December 12 due to the sexual misconduct allegations against him, according to a new Politico/Morning Consult poll released on Tuesday. Fifty-nine percent of voters overall said they considered the allegations against Moore as described in a Washington Post article last week, that he had sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl when he was in his 30s, as very or somewhat credible.
Roy Moore's support from fellow Republicans is hemorrhaging after a second woman accused the Alabaman of groping her when she was a teenager in the late 1970s, the latest setback to his effort to win an open Senate seat that suddenly seems up for grabs. "I can tell you without hesitation this is absolutely false," Moore said Monday at an abruptly called news conference in Gallant, Alabama, after the latest allegations were made.
Roy Moore has created a problem for Republicans, now unsure of whether he would be fit to serve in the Senate. And if he wins the Alabama special election next month, whether it would be necessary to expel him using a process not seen for more than a century.

Roy Moore, the Alabama Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, has been accused of previous sexual misconduct with teenagers, which he has denied. Another woman has charged that Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore sexually assaulted her when she was a teen, and top Republicans now threaten to expel Moore should he win Alabama's special election on Dec. 12. In an emotional news conference, Beverly Young Nelson said Moore groped her and tried to force himself on her in his car behind the restaurant where the then-16-year-old worked.
Senate Republicans will be forced to seat Judge Roy Moore if he wins a special election next month to fill Alabama's U.S. Senate seat, but if he wins, he would likely face a quick expulsion vote that will end his Senate career before it begins. Republicans began signaling last week they don't want Moore in the Senate, and that sentiment picked up steam on Monday after a woman stepped forward and claimed Moore sexually assaulted her in his car when she was 16. Beverly Young Nelson said after she resisted, Moore either pushed her out of his car or she fell to the ground as Moore sped away.

A month before Alabama's special election, Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore abruptly faced allegations Thursday of sexual misconduct with minors decades ago - and an immediate backlash from party leaders who demanded he quit the race if the accusations prove true. The instant fallout followed a Washington Post report in which an Alabama woman said that Moore, then a 32-year-old assistant district attorney, had sexual contact with her when she was 14. Three other women interviewed by the Post said Moore, now 70, also approached them when they were between the ages of 16 and 18 and he was in his early 30s.

Both Democratic and Republican leaders roundly denounced President Donald Trump's statement last month putting "blame on both sides" about the violence at the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. However, while I personally find reprehensible various forms of white nationalism, racism, and neo-Nazism, Trump's statements that both sides deserve a degree of blame have some validity.
