Roy Moore is facing a wave of criticism and national Republicans are bolting from his campaign — but will allegations of sexual misconduct matter in the Alabama Senate race?

Four women have accused Moore of sexual and romantic advances when they were teenagers — one when she was 14 — nearly four decades ago. At that time, Moore was in his 30s and an assistant district attorney.

Moore has denied the allegations, reported in the Washington Post, and said he will remain in the race. An aide with the Moore campaign said no campaign events would be cancelled over the weekend.

“I have never provided alcohol to minors, and I have never engaged in sexual misconduct,” Moore said in a statement Friday. “As a father of a daughter and a grandfather of five granddaughters, I condemn the actions of any man who engages in sexual misconduct not just against minors but against any woman.”

But questions remain as to whether Moore will lose more resources from national Republicans and other outside groups that could have supported his Senate run. And whether the allegations open the door for Democrat Doug Jones to become the first Democrat elected to the Senate in Alabama in more than 20 years.
