1. Senate Republicans are scrambling to figure out how to block Roy Moore’s path to the Senate, after accusations emerged that he made sexual advances on teenage girls when he was in his 30s.

Mr. Moore, above, is the Republican nominee for the Alabama Senate seat vacated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions. A special election is scheduled for Dec. 12.

He remained defiant, insisting in an interview on Fox News that he would stay in the race and denying that he “had any contact” with a woman who says he molested her when she was 14.
