While speaking to reporters on Friday, President Trump stated Republican nominee Judge Roy Moore should concede defeat in the Alabama Senate election.

Trump answered a question on whether Moore should concede by saying, “I think he should. He tried. I want to support — always I want to support the person running. We need the seat. We’d like to have the seat. I think we’re doing very well on the tax. We’ll see what happens, but I think we’re doing very well. It’s something that’s going to be monumental. It will be the biggest tax decrease or tax cut in the history of our country. But as far as Roy Moore, yeah, it’s certainly — I would certainly say he should.”
