Roy Moore weighs Alabama Senate re-run despite GOP opposition
WASHINGTON — Conservative lightning rod Roy Moore of Alabama, narrow loser of a turbulent special election for Senate in 2017, is considering a fresh run next year. National Republican leaders are signaling they'll again try preventing their party from nominating the twice-removed state jurist whose campaign was battered by allegations of long-ago sexual harassment of teenagers.
In a separate AP interview last week, he said 2020"could be a touchpoint in our nation, not only for the presidency but for the House and Congress." Moore said he had many reasons for considering another campaign but declined to elaborate. Asked if he would try to head off Moore, Young said,"We'll actively work to make sure that the most conservative, electable Republican is our nominee."
McConnell's and other party leaders' preferred 2017 nominee was GOP Sen. Luther Strange, appointed months earlier to fill a vacancy. They feared that moderate voters would abandon Moore if he was nominated because of his hard-right views against gay marriage and for a larger role of religion in government, plus his use of racially insensitive language.
