2. Today in accusations against senators:

Al Franken, Democrat of Minnesota, apologized after a newscaster said he had kissed and groped her without consent during a U.S.O. tour in 2006.

And four more women accused Roy Moore, the Republican nominee for Senate in Alabama, of sexual misconduct. But the party’s state organization has decided to stand behind him, putting it at bitter and public odds with national party leaders.
