President Donald Trump urged Roy Moore, whose 2017 special election loss made Doug Jones the first Democrat since 1992 to win a U.S. Senate seat in Alabama, to forgo a 2020 rematch, warning of "devastating" consequences.
“Republicans cannot allow themselves to again lose the Senate seat in the Great State of Alabama,” Trump said Wednesday on Twitter. “This time it will be for Six Years, not just Two. I have NOTHING against Roy Moore, and unlike many other Republican leaders, wanted him to win. But he didn’t, and probably won’t.”
