What should have been an easy republican victory in the election to fill the senate seat of attorney general Jeff Sessions is now coming down to the wire as one of alabamas most hotlyen contested showdown in decades. Heres abcs richard cantu. Reporter Embattled Republican Senate candidate roy moore spoke out on sunday who have accused him of actions ranging from inappropriate behavior to Sexual Assault when he was in his 30s and some of the women were in their teens. These allegations are completely false. I did not date underage women. I did not molest anyone. Reporter his opponent in the race, Democrat Doug Jones, just like senator shelby today, i believe those women. Reporter Richard Shelby is alabamas senior u. S. Senator, a republican.

If the people of alabama vote for this liberal democrat, doug jones, then theyre voting against the president who they put in office at the highest level. Reporter alabamans have not elected a democratic senator in 25 years. Richard cantu, new york. And today the women accusing President Trump of Sexual Harassment and assault are expected to appear together for the first time and demand a congressional investigation. On sunday, u. N. Ambassador nikki haley said those Women Deserve to be heard. Thats a stark contrast to many republicans who defended the president saying he was elected despite those allegations. Haley says the president s accusers should not be treated differently than other women who have come forward. Women who accuse anyone should be heard. They should be heard and they should be dealt with. I think we heard from them prior to the election. And i think any woman who has felt violated or felt mistreated in any way, they have every right to speak up. Meanwhile, some democrats are calling for the president s resignation. Bernie sanders says the president should follow the example of minnesota senator al franken and resign. Two other Democratic Senators are also calling on the president to step down.
