GOP retreat from Moore intensifies
Republicans over the weekend continued to distance themselves from Alabama Senate nominee Roy Moore (R) after a report alleged that he engaged in sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl in 1979, when he was 32.
A number of GOP senators, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), have said in the four days since the allegations were revealed that Moore should step aside from the race if report is true. On Sunday, multiple Republican lawmakers suggested it would be "best" if Moore went ahead and stepped aside.
Two Republican senators on Sunday said that the allegations against Moore appeared stronger than his denials.
The future of the Senate race remains unclear as some lawmakers push for a potential write-in campaign.
