While many sitting Republican senators — including Alabama’s own Richard C. Shelby — have continued to criticize Roy Moore, a few candidates who’d like to join them in the Senate have taken a more measured tone leading up to Tuesday’s election.

In several cases, that warmer embrace (or less forceful rejection) of the Alabama GOP Senate nominee is a change in tone from their previous public statements.

The evolution comes as the president and the Republican National Committee have stepped back into the race for Moore, while other GOP leaders who first called on Moore to drop out have since come to terms with the fact that Moore is going to be on the ballot Tuesday and the Senate will have to seat him if he wins.
