In an interview with Democracy Now, Moore said support for Trump hasn’t dropped “one inch” in key electoral states in the Midwest.

Moore, an Academy Award winner and frequent critic of the president, added that Trump voters are "even more rabid" than before because “they are afraid he could lose.”

“They are voracious in their appetite for Donald Trump,” Moore said. "That’s the bad news.”
