Senate GOP running out of options to stop Moore

BY ALEXANDER BOLTON - 11/19/17 06:00 AM EST

Senate Republicans are running out of options in their effort to replace Roy Moore as the party’s nominee in the Alabama Senate race.

In the past week, they tried to pressure Moore to drop out by siding with the women who accused him of sexual misconduct. He refused. They tried to coax President Trump into calling for Moore’s ouster. Trump declined.

They tried to convince the Alabama Republican Party to disqualify Moore as the nominee or to schedule a new election. Those officials said no.

They tried to find a write-in candidate to challenge Moore, but their first choice, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, signaled through allies he wasn’t interested.
