Senate candidate Moore's wife says 'he will not step down'
WASHINGTON — The wife of Republican Alabama U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore said on Friday her husband would not end his campaign in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations, dismissing reports about his past behavior toward some women as political attacks.
"He will not step down," Kayla Moore said at a news conference on the steps of the state capitol in Montgomery. "He will not stop fighting for the people of Alabama."
The news conference was the second in two days held by Moore's supporters. His campaign has been in turmoil since the Washington Post published a story last week detailing the accounts of three women who claim Moore pursued them while they were teenagers and he was in his 30s. More women have since spoken out with allegations of their own.
Reuters has been unable to independently confirm any of the allegations or accusations. Two recent polls show Moore trailing Democrat Doug Jones ahead of the Dec. 12 special election, with Fox News releasing one on Thursday showing Jones ahead with 50 percent to 42 percent for Moore. Kayla Moore challenged the Post's reporting on her husband's past alleged misconduct.
