President Trump recorded a robocall in support of GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore, released Sunday, just days ahead of this week’s special election in Alabama.

“We need Roy voting for us and stopping illegal immigration and crime, rebuilding a stronger military and protecting the Second Amendment and our pro-life values,” Mr. Trump says on the recording.

“But if Alabama elects liberal Democrat Doug Jones, all of our progress will be stopped full,” he says.

Mr. Trump originally endorsed Sen. Luther Strange in the Republican primary, but he lost to Mr. Moore. The race has been plagued by accusations of sexual misconduct when several women came forward to accuse Mr. Moore of pursuing sexual relationships with them as teens. He was an adult man at the time the women claimed these instances occurred more than 20 years ago.

The general election race is set for Dec. 12.
