Close to call in alabama. These are the live pictures from montgomery. We are expecting the republican roy moore to come out. He is still slightly ahead in the counting of the democrat royjones.

Cbs showed 75 of viewers approved. 65 said it made them feel proud to be american. 35 said it made them feel safer. A majority of viewers also credited him with the current buoyant state of the economy. Right, lets hear some of this speech. First heres the president on trade. America has also finally turned the page on decades of unfair trade deals. They sacrificed our prosperity and chipped away at our companies, our jobs and prosperity and chipped away at our companies, ourjobs and our wealth.
