In less than 24hrs to the Alabama Republican Senate special election, President Trump has said the way will be opened for a democratic election win if Ray Moore wins the Republican primary. Trump disclosed this to “Roy & Bubba”, a syndicated radio show in Birmingham, Alabama.
The President, who initially called Moore by the wrong name during the interview, referring to him as “Ray Moore”, said that Democrats will pour millions of dollars into the election if their candidate goes up against Moore.
“Luther Strange is going to be a great Senator. He loves Alabama, he loves the states and he loves the country. He will absolutely win against the Democrat,” Trump said.
“Ray will have a hard time. If Luther wins, the Democrats will hardly fight. If Ray wins (Democrats) will pour in $30 million.”
When host Rick Burgess pointed out that Moore’s name is Roy, Trump who travelled to Alabama on Friday to canvass votes for Senator Luther Strange responded that it’s “not a good sign” if the president doesn’t know his name.
“I don’t know that much about Roy Moore. Roy Moore is going to have a very hard time getting elected against the Democrat. Against Luther they won’t even fight,” he said.
Meanwhile, latest polls in the Alabama Senate run-off indicates Moore holds a sizable lead over Strange, including a 10 point lead in an Emerson College poll released Sunday.
Conservatives like Sarah Palin and Steve Bannon who are backing Moore as an anti-establishment Republican will campaign for the former Alabama chief Justice on Monday night, while Vice President Pence will campaign for Strange at another rally on Monday night.
