AL-SEN: McConnell discussing asking Strange to resign, kicking off new special election

[RandySF]

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is reportedly talking about asking Sen. Luther Strange (R-Ala.) to resign to kick off a new special election in Alabama.

McConnell is talking with his top advisers about whether the potential plan with Strange is possible and legal, Politico reported.

The reports come as Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore has indicated he plans to stay in the race after multiple women have accused him of sexual misconduct.

Last week, The Washington Post reported that a woman accused Moore of initiating a sexual encounter with her in 1979 when she 14 and he was 32. Another woman came forward Monday to accuse Moore of sexually assaulting her when she was 16.

The Post reported on Wednesday that two more women had come forward and accused Moore of making unwanted advances toward them.
