He wen
Great sunday to you. Thanks for sticking around with us here at msnbc. Were at the World Headquarters in new york city. Im richard lui, and just about 3 00 p. M. On the east coast, 2 00 p. M. In alabama. Polls are going to open, if you counted here, in about 41 hours from now. Voters there finally will elect their next u. S. Senator, republican roy moore or Democrat Doug Jones. Hes expected to campaign in birmingham any minute alongside new jersey senator cory booker and alabama congresswoman terry sewell. Its one of several events across the state that jones supporters will be holding today. Moore has been out of sight this sunday, although we are hearing from him in an interview with the voice of alabama politics. Well play some of that interview for you in just a little bit. But alabamans are also hearing from President Trump, who recorded a robocall for moore this weekend. Weve got the final Campaign Push covered from every angle from montgomery, alabama, all the way to washington.
