WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi-
dent Donald Trump on Fri-
day reinforced his support
for embattled Alabama
Republican Senate can-
didate Roy Moore, telling
voters four days before
they go to the polls that
the “LAST thing” he needs
in the closely divided GOP-
controlled Senate is a “Lib-
eral Democrat” who op-
poses his agenda.
Trump tweeted that mes-

in Pensacola, Florida.

the rally is a campaign
event for Trump. But the lo-
cation, near the Alabama
border and feeding televi-
sion markets in the state,

the rally was a backdoor

ting foot in the state. White

Huckabee Sanders had
