Roy Moore 'will not step down,' his wife Kayla Moore says

Montgomery, Ala. • Embattled Alabama Republican nominee Roy Moore’s wife Kayla Moore said Friday that her husband will not end his Senate campaign, which has been upended by allegations that he initiated unwanted sexual encounters with women when they were teenagers and he was in his 30s.

Her comments were the latest signal that Moore is not planning to end his campaign, even as Senate Republican leaders have urged him to bow out and have withdrawn their support for him.

Among GOP officials here in Alabama, however, the reaction has been very different.
