Trump: 'We cannot afford' a Roy Moore loss

President Trump warned on Friday that if Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore loses the special election to his Democratic opponent next week, it could put the Trump agenda at risk.

“We cannot afford — this country, the future of this country — cannot afford to lose a seat in the very, very close United States Senate,” Trump told a crowded arena in Pensacola, Fla. on Friday during a rally held just miles from the Alabama border. “We can’t afford it, folks. We can’t afford to have a liberal Democrat who is completely controlled by [House Minority Leader] Nancy Pelosi and [Senate Minority Leader] Chuck Schumer. His name is Jones, and he’s their puppet.”
