Moore says he got call of support from Trump
HOMEWOOD, Ala. (AP) — Firebrand jurist Roy Moore says he’s received a call of support from President Donald Trump following his win the Alabama Republican Senate primary.
Trump backed Moore’s opponent Luther Strange, but has offered support for Moore in the general election.
Moore tells “Fox and Friends” that he supports Trump’s agenda. He says he beat Strange because people in Alabama “understand what I stand for.”
Moore’s win stood as a rebuke for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who backed Strange. Moore says he would have opposed the latest Republican effort to overhaul “Obamacare,” calling it “socialized medicine at best.”
Asked if he will work with McConnell, Moore says he’ll work with anyone that “stands for a conservative agenda.”
