i love richard shelby. >> that's a big voice. the republican establishment. but there is a lot of people in the republican establishment who will come out against moore. he has been able to hang tough. not that there isn't damage done. the fact that this is such a close race shows you how much damage has been done by all the other issues viewed by so many as disqualifying about roy moore, his comments about russia in the past few days. his comments about 9/11, gay marriage, et cetera, 10 commandments. we almost forget how controversial he is. but it's a tight race. a couple of problems for the democrat doug jones. they are not used to having such a tight race. they get out the vote operation is really untested, not really this place. that becomes difficult. you have the president doing robocalls getting out his voters. steve bannon. i wonder if people are reluctant to tell people they are for him. >> as we learn from exit polls, sometimes think of perverse pleasure in lying to pollsters about what they are going to do. >> there is no way to poll this special

together, jeff sessions and richard shelby represent the finest alabama has to offer to the nation. following in their footsteps here in the senate is an honor i will forever treasure. the example of these men inspired me to get involved in public service. as the attorney general of alabama, jeff sessions set an example as i think the most influential and revered senator in our state's history, richard shelby has guided the way with an unparalleled reverence for the rule of law. so, mr. president, i spoke earlier about the balance of pragmatism and principle, and in doing so, i had my friends in mind when i was elected attorney general of the state of alabama in 2010, i drew heavily on their examples of principled, conservative leadership. mr. president, in this body, we are tobacco often convinced that standing for deeply held principles is incompatible with prague pragmatism. in the six years i served as attorney general, i learned that this could not be further from the truth. serving my state in that capacity required balance above all else. i know the presiding officer, having

not like the person richard shelby was when he was a in alabama. elected i don't think he is going to be as moderate as we think. our conversation continues about last night's election. when it comes to the timetable for tax reform, the budget, does any of that calculus change, or a push to get it through before doug jones comes to the senate? guest: full speed ahead for the republicans in the house and senate. i think they will have to get as to getthey can and try it through. i think the christmas deadline is more important, particularly since it looks like jones will be arriving shortly after christmas. they have to get the tax reform bill if they are going to get it done. if they push it off there is another list of complications. host: when it comes to republicans who spoke out against roy moore, any consequences long-term, or at least internally in the party about how they go forward? guest: the most vocal republican in favor of jones, jeff flake, is already retiring from arizona. i don't know what the long-standing consequences will be. what

what's interesting about richard shelby saying that.rd shelby is not jeff blake or bob corker or john mccain. he's sort of a down the line conservative from alabama. he is not a guy who is poking donald trump in the eye to poke him in the eye. i think it speaks for the very real concerns from a segment of alabama republicans, not all, but a segment of alabama republicans about what this means for alabama if roy moore wins, and that's a little bit about what bianna's talking about. what it might mean for the senate and what it means for the broader republican brand. i'm more skeptical than dana that they may move to expel him. they may. >> it's not going to happen right away. >> but mitch mcconnell is on the record and donald trump are both on the record saying we need to let the people of alabama decide. it's just tough to certainly in short order to overturn that by expelling him. maybe over a broad period of time that will change. i just think it's very hard. the people of alabama, it's not as though the roy moore story has been under

that's not what richard shelby said. >> interestingly enough, richard shelby wouldn't say who he wrotean opposition if richard shelby will not say who he voted for. you're seeing the power of the presidency. they have done an effective job at keeping roy moore quiet and sending in the big guns, president trump and steve bannon. and whether they are bad on spending or raise their taxes. he's gotten the play book down and it's a convincing argument for alabama voters. >> what do you think? that the democrats can pull this off? >> we're giving it a try. politicians bring in the big folks, so to speak, but it talks about how you cultivate with voters over the long haul. democrats shy away from certain states and we need a 50-state strategy and it has to be year after year after year and not just when we get in a situation like this. and then further, for democrats to always have to balance whether they win or lose is troubling to me. it's crack the glass and we have a real emergency now and i think the party can go a long way, especially the national party and and ult vat when we have situ

that was richard shelby, who has since turned into a republican. so they really didn't see this coming, in any way. and an important note in all of this, wolf. again, if they do not hold on to that seat, if they lose one more, remember, that means one fewer seat that the democrats have to defend in next year's elections. >> tom foreman reporting for us. thanks, tom. >>> as the president cast his lot with roy moore, he's also waging an ugly new battle against a democratic senator over the sexual misconduct allegations he's facing. that's coming up.

they're going to listen to richard shelby. >> reporter: jones spent the weekend blanketing the state alongside prominent democrats. duval patrick and cory booker. instead of campaigning, moore could not be found other than in his taped interview with a local media outlet. >> i do not know them. >> reporter: tonight, roy moore will take the stage in the barn behind me alongside former courthouse chief strategist steve bannon. meanwhile, doug jones with a competing rally in birmingham we've just learned charles barkley will join him. >> all right. charles barkley. former philadelphia 69er and a former alabama. >>> our next guest almost beat roy moore in alabama. his take on the race next. cancer challenges us. to find smarter solutions. to offer more precise and less invasive treatment options than before. like advanced genomic testing and immunotherapy. see how we're fighting to outsmart cancer at cancercenter.com/outsmart i cannot imagine managing my diabetes without my dexcom. this is the dexcom g5 mobile continuous glucose monitoring system. a small, wearable sensor measures your g

this is the re-election of richard shelby. 64% for the republican, 36% for the democrat. look at presidential races. donald trump won the state, 63% of the vote, hillary clinton under 35%. go back in time, mitt romney 61, president obama 38. even in 2008. the his toric election of the first african-american president, john mccain wins with record african-american turnout. that gives you a little bit of history of the challenge facing doug jones. let's come back to 2016 in that shelbey race and look at it, let's remember this, tomorrow's not a presidential election, it's not even a regular senate election. it's an off year special election in the middle of december, turnout will be down. what does doug jones have to do? this is using the shelbey map in 2016. younger voters, college educated women, and especially african-americans, doug jones needs skyrocketing african-american turnout above 25% of the electorate tomorrow. they have to come out in big numbers and support him by a larger margin than they did in 2016. just like we saw in virginia last month, in the off year e

the democrat who won his senate race in alabama in 1992 was richard shelby. it was his first re-election campaign for the senate in alabama. and two years latter, richard shelby switched parties after the democrats were wiped out when they lost control of the senate and lost control of the house for the first time in 40 years. richard shelby just walked across the aisle after that congressional election in 1994 and switched from being a conservative democrat to being a mainstream republican. and yesterday alabama's senior senator richard shelby said this. >> i couldn't vote for roy moore. i didn't vote for roy moore. but i wrote in a distinguished republican name. there's a time. we call it a tipping point. and i think so many accusations, so many cuts, so many drip, drip, drip when it got to the 14-year-old story, story, that was enough for me. i said, i can't vote for roy moore. i didn't vote for the democrat. or advocate for the democrat but i couldn't vote for roy moore. the state of alabama deserves better. >> and doug jones will take that because that f

get to be close to richard shelby, our senior senator. nobody has ever done more for alabama or the republican party than shelby. if he does like i have, i think we have the best working partnership and friendship of any senator, two senators in the country. it's paid dividends for our count trip. if doug jones is smart, he will work with shelby to advance our state. i've done that and that would be my recommendation to doug. >> neil: any recommendation for roy moore? he's still fighting this. >> i'm not going to give mr. moore any advice. i made my case against him. the voters showed otherwise in the primary and that brings us to today. he's on his own. >> neil: what did you think of the accusations that came up after the battle for the primary? what do you through? >> the former prosecutor, they're very troubling to me. it's unfortunate that that information wasn't available to the primary voters. one of the things you can't control. that's history. but i think it made a difference in the election yesterday. >> neil: the president suppor

amy: that was senator richard shelby of alabama. a republican. or more, we go to washington, d.c., where we're joined by peter montgomery, senior fellow at people for the american way. his recent piece is headlined "there's more than one roy moore scandal." talk about roy moore peter montgomery. moore: wrote "roy history of bigotry, tourism, contempt for the rule of law." talk about the scandals around the former alabama judge. >> you are to the action did a great job outlining some of them. i think it is scandalous that we have republican party and a president supporting someone from the senate whose hold career has demonstrated such contempt for court restitution principles and the rule of law. and that is before you consider the allegations that are made by a number of women about him praying on mls to teenage girls. roy moore has a long record of violating court orders when he disagrees with them. he thinks they violate his biblical worldview. amy: you have done a comprehensive log at his history. go back to the beginning and talking about wh

. >> but alabama senior senator, richard shelby said he wrote in another republican when we he voted early. >> i didn't vote for roy moore. i wouldn't vote for roy moore. i think the republican party can do better. >> the democrat in the race, doug jones tried to capitalize on shelby's words casting moore as unfit to serve. senator cory booker stumped for jones saturday. >> bad people get elected when good people don't vote. >> reporter: with polls showing moore meeting despite allegations, democrats believe turnout among young and african-american voters may beat only way to take the senate seat. >> we don't discriminate. >> in selma at historic bridge, he has been trying to motivate black voters with an eyepopping slogan. >> pass the word. that encapsulated how she feels about issues like health care. vote or die, a strong message? >> but if the is real. pragmatic. it is strong. bit is real. we have to come up with the slogan, that capture the attention and imagination of people. >> supporters on both sides spent the weekend canvassing neighborhoods reminding vote ears but tuesday'

richard shelby is there. doug jones is going to be there. and he sounds like the kind of southern senator, southern democratic senator, who could win re-election. >> yeah. the kind of democratic southern democrat that used to exist. republicans up north. but i think one of the best things that doug jones said talking since being elected is i hope it turns alabama into a two-party state and benefits the voters of actual competition. one other thing i think is so key about this. donald trump's special form of magic, the special set of skills he seems to have only work for him. it's very clear that other people can't run this way and say offensive things and racist things and anti-semitic things. he claimed that mitt romney skipped out on vietnam. 37,000 mormons in alabama. you think they heard that? about time the republicans learned they have to run a different way to be successful. >> let's listen to what doug jones had to say about the phone calls he received, some of them are pretty surprising. >> i have received calls from so many well wi

and many republican senators. >> reporter: to include senators, you heard tim scott to include richard shelbynior republican senator from alabama who said that he could not vote for roy moore and also said that the people of alabama deserve better. richard? >> geoff bennett there very close to the president this weekend. thank you, appreciate that. >>> now we'll bring in our guest who is a congressional reporter for the daily beast. sharon is here and daniel lipman who is co-author of to politico's playbook. the robocall, what will this mean? what do you make of the timing of it? what do you make of now the president and the white house not equivocating any more about their support for moore? >> well, it's a striking step because only a few weeks ago we thought that all republicans would have abandoned this guy after "the washington post" reports about the accusations. but i would point out that they are not sending trump to alabama himself. so they have the rally 20 minutes or 20 miles away, but this could be a losing political strategy for them long-term. they may hold the seat on tuesday,

. >> including senator richard shelby who said he wrote in another republican's name. >> so many accusations, so many cuts, so many drip, drip, drip when it got to the 14-year-old story, that was enough for me. i said i can't vote for roy moore. >> this is the man. this is the man. >> the man hoping to beat moore, democrat doug jones got a push from new jersey senator cory booker. doug is trying to become the first selected in 25 years. he'll likely need a strong turnout of african-american voters. >> this is an election to tell the world who we are and what we stand for. >> reporter: several lawmakers on both siegds of the i'll say if he wins the election he could face an immediate probe from the ethics committee. >> he'll capture a campaign tonight including steve bannon. polls show moore leading jones by about 25 percentage points, anne-marie. >>> this morning the largest wildfire burning in california has flared up and threatened the wealthy foothills west of los angeles. the thomas fire has burned through an area larger than new york city last monday, destroying nearly 800 homes and oth

richard shelby says he believes the women. before him maybe the most popular public figure in alabama, jeff sessions said that he believes these women and, look, jeff -- richard shelby basically cut a commercial when he went on tv today for the doug jones campaign. doug jones campaign is already airing that -- sharing that interview all over the internet and i wouldn't be surprised if they had an ad up tomorrow morning including that segment. >> and yet, kyle, shelby didn't say who he voted for? he wrote in another republican but why do you think he didn't say who that is because that wouldn't allow him to help galvanize people behind another option? >> even before now when he said that -- this is not the first time that richard shelby has said that he wrote in another republican and when he did that before, there was some here raising questions whether that violated the alabama republican party's rules which could get him kicked out of the party for supporting someone else but he simply said, no, i wrote in another republica

because the winner who squeaked it out was richard shelby and he won as a democrat. that's how he entered the senate in 1986 was as a democrat. changed parties eight years later. so when they're this close historically, the democrat wins. so we will see. >> and the last time we had a major statewide race won by a democrat in alabama, it was leonardo years ago, 2006, it was the lieutenant governor's race where the democrat who won beat luther strange is the guy whose senate seat was just vacated in order to make space for this special election tonight. it is the -- it's one of those things that is super fun to cover. but also tonight super suspen suspensef suspenseful. >> we're making history. >> thanks. >> as alabama continues to count votes, here is where things stand at this hour. the race is officially too close to call. with roy moore at 50%. doug jones at 48%. 77% of the vote is in. we're going bring in nbc's steve kornacki. steve, what are you watching? >> yeah, look, it's a 21,000 vote lead right now for roy moore. that's what jones has to make up. so if jones

richard shelby has already cast his ballot and he is in no for someone. would you make of republicans making this decision? >> senator shelby is not supporting worry more however he did say he is doing a write-in for candidate -- a republican candidates who certainly support the agenda and believes it's important to keep her public agenda alive and moving. that is what this is about as i and many other individuals as well are doing writing candidates. there have not been a substantial writing campaign unfortunately. >> one of the things people are watching is turnout by republicans. president trump in pensacola and we know people in alabama will be getting the bobo call. how much of an impact do you think president trump can have indicated they see every more? >> president trump had a substantial impact. his kind of robust agenda has an impact across the nation. that is that this is about is keeping the republicans say. there's more things they can be discussed after he is actually seated. there's more about keeping their public and see. right now we have

richard shelby rebuked and saying he cannot stand by moore.re the president is am can be from and we would like to retain that seat in the u.s. senate. i tell you what. there is a time where we call it a tipping point. so many cuts and accusations and drip, drip, drip. >> this and other issues in this race. a commentator for the group, good to see you both. you starred with you. the republican party deserves more. deserves better. do the alabama voters agree with that? >> i don't know. we will find out on tuesday. it is as practical as ideological. that has an effect on economic development and how we keep businesses here in alabama. if we can keep businesses here in alabama. i think he saw this as not just long-term challenge for the state, but also for their party. if roy moore is elected to the united states senate, next year around this country his face is going to be an attack ad used by democrats against republican opponents. just in the same way here in alabama, every republican candidate tries, they will be using roy moore and donald t

on sunday, alabama republican senator richard shelby said he could not vote for roy moore. for royld not vote moore. i did not vote for roy moore. i understand more the president is coming from. i understand we would like to retain that seat in the u.s. senate. but i tell you what, there is a time -- we call it a tipping point. and i think so many accusations, so many cuts, so many drip, drip, drip when it got to the 14-year-old story, that was enough for me. i said, i can't vote for roy moore. amy: that t was senator richardd shelby o of alabama. a republican. or more, we go to washington, d.c., where we're joined by peter montgomery, senior fellow at people for the american way. his recent piece is headlined "there's more than one roy moore scandal." talk about roy moore peter montgomery. moore: wrote "roy history of bigotry, tourism, contempt for the rule of law." talk about the scandals around the former alabama judge. >> you are to the action did a great job outlining some of them. i think it is scandalous that we have republican party and a president supporting someon

richard shelby is a very trusted, beloved politician in alabama. elder statesman in washington, if you will. i think a lot of people put stock in what richard shelby has said and said them voluntarily without a lot of prompting. he says he feels judge moore isn't fit to serve in the senate and voted for another write-in candidate whom he did not identify. >> woodruff: and finally, don, any early thoughts about turnout? what are you hearing? >> the secretary of state in alabama told us he projects 25% voter turnout in alabama tomorrow, up from the primary elections in this race, and he says that's primarily because absentee voting has been very strong in the leadup to the race, but 25% obviously would be better than the 18% we saw in the republican runoff for this race, but still very low given all that's at stake with this particular race. >> woodruff: don dailey watching the race for us in alabama, thank you very much, with alabama public television, thanks. >> thanks, judy. >> woodruff: we turn now to the national political implications of alabam

party and distress of media and distress of washington or whether they'll say no this is en >> richard shelby the long time senator in alabama politics for 40 some years once a democrat and switched to gop some 0 years ago he went on tv over the weekend and wrote in another republican's name and could not would not vote for roy moore and then again goes back to distrust of washington where richard shelby while a veteran he's establishedment. >> it's ha to tell if this means anything. again these people are so -- many people if alabama do got trust and trust washington and everything is fake news to them and which is what roy moore campaigned on and there is a sense in which all of these washington he lights coming out and against roy moore and might not be enough. >> so. we talk about president making robo calls and is affect or impact ob the folks there in alabama we've seen jones do better in the polls. we don't know why that is. it's a negative view of rye roy moore or if efforts of helping doug jones are successful. has doing better in polls than he was a while ago. it's hard to trace whe

what do you think the richard shelby effect is going to be if anything? >> i think it would have been more effective had he come out this strongly a couple of weeks ago before other state republicans sort of retreated to, you know, the nearest corner before -- excuse me. i keep calling her lieutenant governor kay ivey. she's now governor kay ivey. but that's another story. she said that even though she believed these women, that she was going to vote for roy moore. but it can have an impact. i mean, don't -- i'm not trying to dismiss that right now. and it is a pretty strong stand he's taking. he went on television this weekend. he's not really one for the sunday talk shows. he went on tv with the purpose of -- let's face it. he basically cut an ad for doug jones with his statements this weekend and gave a lot of republicans here in alabama license or permission to do the principles thing. and even if they don't want to vote for a democrat, find someone, anyone, maybe diane bentley, someone like that, to write in as their candidate and not someone like ro

but senator richard shelby says this is not my candidate. i voted for someone else. roy moore has been sort of the wrong side of the mainstream of his party for some time. he called sandy hook, where those beautiful children were killed, in gun violence, he called that a reaction to america being ungodly. he has said that a muslim should not be a sitting member of the congress, called homosexuality illegal and thrown off the bench twice for not holding up the constitution. >> he has been a trouble some p republican he's an unpopular guy and has been all his life. there's something about him just his positions that he's taken, the inflammatory things he's said all make him somebody whom the republicans would find -- they would not want him defining the party. and unfortunately, he's incendiary enough that he probably would. >> for a man that defines the party right now is donald trump and he's all in on this race despite the fact he didn't set foot in the campaign forum. made the robo call, tweeting repeatedly about the election. what does this day mean for the presid

senator richard shelby decided not to vote for judge moore.te in a distinguished republican's name. that's the single really republican in the state of alabama. how did judge moore take that? >> well, it's up to senator shelby how he wants to vote. judge moore will work with for shelby when he gets up there. that's all senator shelby, if that itself the way he wants to vote and tell anybody that, that's completely up to him him çrdjtsjjut is fine with that. >> dean young, it will be an interesting night. you think it will be a sort night. you think you are going to bed at 7:00, huh? >> i think about 7:45, we'll have enough indicators that say we will win. the people of alabama will have spokeen. we will keep pushing forward, thank you, chuck. >> you got it. dean young, thank you for coming on, sharing your views. we appreciate it. >> thank you, sir. joining me from another perspective is democratic state representative patricia todd, representative todd, thanks for coming on. nice last knight name there. >> well, thank you. it's good to be her

. >> i think that the people of the stage -- they elected a richard shelby, they are going to listen to him at. >> they are also lending last-minute support. they recorded robcalls of that are ringing statewide on election eve. cory booker spoke with jones over the weekend, saying that at the rest reputation may suffer. >> don't let anyone talk down to alabama, and please, i am from jersey. i definitely don't want some people just singling out a few folks on the jersey shore tv show and thinking that is my entire state. >> budget jones campaign chairman isn't so sure that they democratic democratic stars who descended on the stage will matter much. >> i don't think the outsiders made much of a difference. this is an alabama race, it will be decided by alabama people, who generally don't like being told what to do. and we look forward to alabama electing doug jones. >> so, the big star tonight will not be an outsider. instead, it will be someone born and raised just 10 miles away from here, former auburn university basketball great, charles barkley, known best in the nba for his rebou

that democrat has now become a republican, that is richard shelby.ected statewide to any office in this statewide to any office in this state in nearly a full decade now. the very fact that doug jones is close speaks to how controversial roy moore is and indeed how controversial he was even before these allegations. controversial and how, a man accused of sexually harassing teenagers and child molestation, whom many in his party have disowned. what is your feeling about how things are going, it still looks as though he will win? about how things are going, it still looks as though he will win7|j about how things are going, it still looks as though he will win? i think what we have seen is some polls have shown politico magazine far ahead and some have shownjones far ahead and some have shownjones far ahead and some have shownjones far ahead and some have shown a total toss up —— roy moore. the reality is alabama isa —— roy moore. the reality is alabama is a republican state. many people on the ground are feeling that if this is truly a toss up that d

the alabama special election was a topic on the sunday talk shows this morning with richard shelby and tim scott. thoughts ontheir mr. roy moore and the sexual misconduct allegations against him. we also heard from a strategist with the roy moore campaign. >> i don't know what is going to happen. as republican, i had to vote republican and i wanted to vote republican. i understand where the president is coming from and i understand that we would like to retain that seat at the u.s. senate but i tell you what, there is a time -- we call it a tipping point. and i think so many accusations, drip,y cuts, so much drip, when we got to the 14-year-old story, that was enough for me. i said -- i cannot vote for roy moore. >> you're going to wake up on wednesday and one of these two men is going to be your fellow said is that -- senator from alabama. who would you rather deal with on a professional level? >> i don't have to answer that question today. i would rather see a another republican in there and i am going to stay with that story. i am not going to vote for or advocate for the democrat b

you heard richard shelby from alabama earlier say he didn't vote for roy moore.who have charged and made allegations against roy moore, what is the reason beyond pure partisan politics keeping the republicans from supporting someone so controversial with credible charges against him. >> senator shelby said it as well, he didn't vote for the democrat. he wants to see a republican in the seat. >> just not that one. >> that's the way he phrased that. that is what you have seen the president say and a lot of others, this seat is important and we need someone representing alabama. and ultimately, alabama will decide who they believe better represents their policy positions in washington, d.c. whether that is judge moore or whether that is doug jones. and we'll find out. >> the president has gone a lot farther than that, to be honest. the president is out there saying vote for him. that's not what shelby said. >> interestingly enough, richard shelby wouldn't say who he wrote in as a candidate. how can you count opposition to moore if you won't say who you voted for. th

you heard richard shelby there. very conservative but very mainstream senator from alabama. and that reflects that many, many republicans do not like moore. they don't like where the party is heading. and that pits them against the so-called hard right. people like steve bannon and breitbart who have strongly backed moore to the hilt for months. and then even if, even if moore gets in and you try to match up the republican differences, the fact is that with the seriousness of the allegations against him, even if that does not lead to his withdrawal from the senate seat, the democrats can use that to again and again say really, are you actually upholding morality? are you upholding decency, gop, or are you just doing this for political expediency, like tax cut. >> yeah, and the democrats have cleaned shop so they positioned themselves to do exactly that. of course, as you mentioned, we heard the republican senator richard shelby's criticism of roy moore. he said he couldn't bring himself to vote for roy moore because of the sexual allegations against hymn him. and that has gi
