President Trump has still not weighed in on whether Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore should stay in the race, after several women accused him of sexual assault when they were teenagers.

On Fox News Monday morning, Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway avoided answering a question about whether she wants people to vote for Moore, saying, “I’m telling you that we want the votes in the Senate” to get the Republican tax bill passed.
