On Friday, President Donald Trump called on fellow Republican Roy Moore to concede to Democrat Doug Jones in the Alabama U.S. Senate race, following the party's loss int he southern US state earlier this week. Moore, whose controversial candidacy was beset by sexual assault allegations has so far refused to admit defeat in Tuesday’s election. The Republican has made two statements since his loss, but has not conceded, even as Trump and others have reached out to congratulate Jones on his win.
