Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel says in a new interview that Alabama voters will have to be the "judge and jury" on whether GOP candidate Roy Moore (R) is elected to the Senate amid allegations of sexual misconduct involving teenage girls.
McDaniel said during an interview with John Catsimatidis on AM 970 in New York that the allegations against Moore are "concerning," but that Alabama officials have maintained Moore can't be replaced on the ballot.
"The allegations were obviously very concerning, concerning to the degree that we [the RNC] pulled our resources," McDaniel said. "[But] Roy Moore cannot be replaced on the ballot," she continued. "He is the candidate. The Alabama [Republican] Party has stood by that. Now the Alabama voters are going to have to be the judge and jury on this."
McDaniel's comments come days after RNC officials said they would continue to deny Moore financial support from the national Republican Party over the allegations despite President Trump throwing his support behind the controversial Alabama candidate.
