Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that the Senate would immediately begin the process of trying to expel Judge Roy Moore if he were to win the Alabama Senate race, after five women have come forward and charged Moore with sexual assault and otherwise trying to date teenage girls while he was in his 30s.

McConnell, R-Ky., said that if Moore wins, he would be seated and sworn in as a senator. But continuing to serve in the chamber would be an entirely different situation.
