(UTV|COLOMBO) – US President Donald Trump has distanced himself from Roy Moore after the Republican suffered a historic defeat for the party in conservative Alabama.
The victory for Democrat Doug Jones narrows the Republican majority in the Senate to 51-49, which could complicate Mr Trump’s legislative plans.
Mr Moore’s campaign was rocked by allegations of sexual misconduct made by several women, which he denied.
Mr Jones is the first Democrat to win a US Senate seat for Alabama in 25 years.
