Confronting accusations that he harassed or molested teenage girls, Moore hasnt held a public event since Tuesday, a decision that has perplexed some Republicans given the closeness of the race. Two Republicans briefed on Moores schedule before this weekend said he intended to spend Saturday in Philadelphia at the Army-Navy football game a long-planned trip that the West Point grad had insisted he would still take this year despite the election.
One of those Republicans, who expressed concern about Moores absence, said that the planned trip was discussed with Moores campaign within the last few weeks and the candidate determined to go case closed.
Moores campaign declined repeated requests to discuss his whereabouts and refused to say whether he had in fact gone to Philadelphia. His absence has baffled local and out of town reporters, some of whom staked out Moores church on Sunday morning only to be informed that he wouldnt be attending.
Vice News on Sunday quoted a Moore campaign county chairman who said that the candidate was indeed in Philadelphia to take in the football game with his son.
The mystery surrounding Moores disappearance added another layer of drama to a race that has been thrust into the spotlight amid a national upheaval surrounding sexual harassment. Once considered a shoo-in, Moore damaged by allegations that he pursued teenagers when he was in his 30s heads into Election Day with only a tenuous lead.
