Doug Jones gets last-minute boost from prominent African-American leaders

In addition, Matthew Knowles, Beyonce’s father and an Alabama native, spoke to a group of voters Saturday morning at a prayer breakfast, saying, “We’re not just voting for a person or voting for a party, we’re voting for the perception of Alabama.” He also said that he is “100 percent against the values and ideology that Moore has.”

According to a Buzzfeed reporter who was at the breakfast, Knowles said he spoke to Jones, and he’s working out the details to see if they could hold a conversation in person.

Moore has made national headlines for his controversial far-right stances in the past, over the past several weeks has endured intense backlash after nine different women have come forward to accuse the Republican of sexual misconduct. He denies the charges.

While Moore isn’t expected to gain much of the African-American vote, Democrats are worried that they just won’t vote at all.

African-Americans make up about 27 percent of Alabama’s population, and Jones is going to need them to turn out in large numbers in order to win, according to a report from NBC News.

Danny Ransom, the vice chairman of the Civil Rights Activist Committee told NBC News, “there doesn’t appear to be a lot of enthusiasm,” for black Alabamians when it comes to Tuesday’s election.

However, the slate of prominent black leaders talking with voters this weekend is looking to change that.

“Your bigotry, ignorance, and hate has no place in the Senate. I’m going to my ancestral home state of Alabama today to lend a hand in defeating you,” Sen. Booker tweeted Saturday, aimed at Moore.

A poll from Gavis Marketing found that Jones is still trailing Moore by a margin of 49 percent to 45 percent as of Friday.
