Moore has denied it all and has vowed to carry on with his campaign. The special election is slated for December 12.
The question now, as the Republican establishment backs away from Moore, is whether Trump will do the same. The White House responded last week by saying, in part, that the President “believes that if these allegations are true, Judge Moore will do the right thing and step aside.”
Trump then promised a more detailed statement when he returned to the US. He arrived back on Tuesday, at around 9 p.m. ET. Since then, he has tweeted regularly — but not yet addressed the Moore situation. After avoiding the issue during televised remarks on Wednesday, his position remains unclear.
For a President so eager to share his thoughts on almost every issue in American life, his near silence on this one stands out.
So, we wait — and watch the clock (literally here). The published allegations are five days old. But our count started from when Trump got back to the White House from his Asia trip.
