people hear from doug jones. >> reporter: the dkt is crisscrossing the state shaking as many hands and talking to as many voters as he can. while pointing out republican roy moore has not. >> it only goes to show that he cares more about his personal agenda than he does the people of alabama. >> reporter: tonight, the first time in almost a week moore returned to the campaign trail for a rally with republican strategist steve bannon. moore did not answer questions from the media and really hasn't since several women accused him of dating and sexually assaulting them decades ago when they were in their teens. something he continues to deny. >> i did not date underage women. i did not molest anyone. >> debby wesson gibson says she met him when he spoke to her high school class in 1981

of this campaign. yeah, you know, former president obama and vice president joe biden have recorded calls for jones as well. in race really all over the place. the polls all over the place as well. one thing everyone seems to agree on, raj and janelle, is that turnout tomorrow will be key. back to you. >> okay, jay thank you so much. the senate race has a far reaching impact beyond alabama. that's which we see president trump making the calls. president obama chiming in. >> it's a big deal for the senate how it tips. larry joins us and politics and alleged you sexual misconduct a dangerous mix. >> equals a mess wyatt right. >> yes. >> consider the situation right now in alabama. on the one hand you have a guy judge moore accused of inappropriate sexual behavior. by nine women who were young girls at the time. on the other hand you have a democrat considered which most to be very liberal or at least more liberal by alabama standards. and who if alabamaen vote for him they're crossing the line they're not comfortable covering -- crossing. you put it together and these guys are stuck. a lot of them don't know what to do. meanwhile you got both sides, we just heard about the president and the calls campaigning last friday. and democrats all kinds of them coming down. each is trying to stick the other with the problem but i'll tell you something. it's a real hard one. >> so we know it's going to be important to win. but what if moore loses? what does that mean? it's a sign of more to come, right. >> very few people initially accepted doug jones to win. really the on us is on the republicans. and if the -- if the republican candidate doug moore -- judge moore wins you got a problem. especially if you are a republican member of the u.s. senate who did not scream against his candidacy. it will haunt you. in 2018 it's a target on your back. but the real potential looser here is donald trump, the president himself. why? because when he endorsed judge moore, given all the allegations against the judge, it brought out all the allegations that were kind of suppressed after the election against donald trump. and you saw that in an earlier story tonight. and these women are not about to go away. they have been ignited. that's causing a lot of problems for the president. >> let's follow the numbers. alabama heavily republicans. why will that change tomorrow in? they have such a big lead in terms of historical elections on the history. >> the republicans make most of the decisions here. do they come out swallow and say okay i'm voting for this guy even though he is not the right person but he is a republican. do they stay home because they can't bear the thought of voting for him more voting for doug jones? or do the democrats manage to crystalize, galvanize and gather enough voters especially 29% of the voters who are blacks as the core and somehow overcome ineritrea on the part of republicans. here is the deal. the secretary of state initially said 18% turn out. a special election you expect that. now to 20 li 25%. so greater volatility process but i want to leave thu with this note. the election is decided tomorrow. one of these guys will win. but the issue of sexual harassment spt going in which. and that's likely now to be with us throughout 2018 and take some casualties. >> okay and we know this time tomorrow we will in theory have an answer. because it will be 9:00 eastern time. >> you'll be rejoining us. >> yes. >> thank you larry. we will continue to track every detail on air and online. read more about the final pushl online ahead of the vote. another big story today could have been worse. that's what police are saying about the attempted suicide bombing that injured four people at one of the busiest
