Roy Moore has responded to a poll showing him leading the Republican pack of possible 2020 U.S. Senate contenders.

In a message posted to Facebook, Moore blasted “establishment” politicians while praising President Donald Trump, but stopped short of saying he would enter the race.

“The people of Alabama elect who they want to send to the US Senate, not politicians and the Washington DC establishment. The GOP establishment should be more about supporting President Trump and less about someone in Alabama who has not even announced his intentions,” Moore said, referring to himself.

“The truth is that my stand for the acknowledgment of God and our Constitution scares the Washington establishment to death, and perhaps it should,” he added. “Let’s face it - the Washington establishment didn’t choose Trump, the people did.”

When asked about the 2020 Senate race, the poll showed 400 registered voters in Alabama who identify as Republicans put Moore in the lead with 27 percent, followed by Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Huntsville (18 percent); Rep. Bradley Byrne, R-Fairhope (13 percent); and Rep. Gary Palmer, R-Hoover, (11 percent). Byrne is the only declared candidate in the race to unseat Sen. Doug Jones, a Democrat.

Jones won the Senate set in 2017, defeating Moore who was mired down in allegations of sexual misconduct. Despite the allegations, Moore was endorsed by President Trump.
