Story highlights Doug Jones says Trump should not resign

Jones says he's ready to move forward from the special election

Washington (CNN) The winner of the Alabama special election, Democratic Senator-elect Doug Jones, says it's time to move on from the sexual misconduct allegations that have been made against President Donald Trump.

Jones told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" Sunday morning that he doesn't agree with some in his party who say Trump should resign from office over the sexual harassment and sexual assault allegations against him, which Trump has denied.

"(T)hose allegations were made before the election, and so people had an opportunity to judge before that election," Jones said.

Jones also said that he's ready to move forward despite Roy Moore's refusal to concede the race, stating he's "ready to go regardless of whether (Moore) concedes or not."

"I say it's time to move on. Alabama has spoken," Jones added. "It was a close election, there is no question about that. But, you know, elections can be close sometimes. But now it's time to heal."
