President Trump in an early morning tweet on Wednesday said he endorsed Sen. Luther Strange (R-Ala.) in the Alabama Senate Republican primary because Roy Moore would not be able to win the general election.
“The reason I originally endorsed Luther Strange (and his numbers went up mightily), is that I said Roy Moore will not be able to win the General Election,” the president said.
“I was right!” he added. “Roy worked hard but the deck was stacked against him!”

The tweet came hours after Democrat Doug Jones defeatedMoore, who was the target of multiple sexual misconduct allegations, in the Alabama Senate race. It is the first time in a quarter century that Alabama will send a Democrat to the Senate.
