However, the rare apparition Joseph captured wasn't elusive Strange, but rather, the man seated at the table behind him. There in the Senate cafeteria was a sight unseen lately in Alabama -- GOP senate nominee Roy Moore.
On the eve of his primary victory, Moore donned a cowboy hat and waved a pistol onstage before an enraptured crowd. But since then? He's been more scarce than a Trump cabinet nominee ducking a Mueller subpoena.
It's all but clear Moore won't agree to a debate, but now he's gone from sight almost altogether, making only a few closed-door appearances and spending more time measuring the drapes in Washington than on the stump.
And it's pretty clear why. Political reporters from around the country are swarming Alabama, and any time the Republican candidate opens his mouth, he's almost guaranteed to hurt his chances in next month's general election.
