Judge Roy Moore has invited President Trump to his Alabama Senate campaign rally Saturday night, one night after Trump is set to campaign for Sen. Luther Strange, R-Ala., in Huntsville.
A top adviser to Moore invited Trump to join him a rally in McIntosh, Ala., on Saturday night and meet with many who supported his presidential campaign — including former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and members of the House Freedom Caucus.
“Mr. President, now that your rally schedule in Alabama has changed and the Huntsville Rally has been rescheduled to Friday evening, I am writing to invite you to join your friends and those who have stood most faithfully and loyally beside you at a rally as far from the Washington, D.C. establishment as you can get,” wrote Dean Young, who has been a confidant and adviser to Moore for 25 years.
“As with the great people of Huntsville, you will be at home in the reddest heart of America with those who have rejected Mitch McConnell’s agenda and who have embraced your own agenda,” it said.
“Even though we may disagree on who the best candidate is to help you make America great again, we continue to agree on who the best candidate is to make America great… you!” the letter said.
Young added that the campaign will have a “bucket of original recipe chicken” ready for Trump if he decides to show up. Trump is known for being a fan of fast food, including Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Trump is slated to hold his rally with Strange Friday night after endorsing him during the primary campaign against Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., in Huntsville. Vice President Pence is also slated to hold a rally with the incumbent Republican on Monday.
Moore, meanwhile, is set to hold a rally Thursday night with Palin and Sebastian Gorka, a former White House staffer, after the two candidates hold their first debate in Montgomery, Ala.
The winner of Tuesday’s contest will fill out the remaining three years of Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ term. Moore is viewed as the favorite ahead of Tuesday and leads by nearly 9 points over Strange, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of polls.
