Trump & Moore Part I: RTR, “Our Eyes Are Upon You” (December 6, 2017)
America’s roiling national political conversation takes a back seat to Alabama until after next Tuesday’s Special Election Final to permanently replace Jeff Sessions who held the seat from 1997 until he assumed office as U.S. Attorney General in January 2017.
