The political race between Republican Roy Moore and Democrat Doug Jones is the closest race for a Democratic Alabamian senator in almost a quarter century. Doug Jones received a fighting chance in the election amidst sexual abuse allegations against Roy Moore involving the molestation of a minor. Moore has denied such allegations but many Alabama residents are choosing to abstain from voting Republican because of the allegations against him and his denial thereof.
The intensity of this election shows that the modern Democrat is still not defeated even with a Republican president and a Republican majority in the Senate. Although Trump has officially endorsed Moore, Jones has as much a chance to win. Former President Barrack Obama has endorsed Jones, and former Republican Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who grew up in Alabama, told her home state to "reject bigotry, sexism, and intolerance."

i was watching the polls earlier and was astounded that Moore was winning for a bit there. I can't believe people would vote for an alleged rapist rather than a democrat.
ReplyDeleteThankfully the Associated Press is reporting a lead by Jones, meaning Alabama would rather be represented by a democrat than a child molester and honestly I can't blame them
ReplyDeleteI agree with this 100%
