Alabama Judge Roy Moore is expected to make an announcement on his 2020 Senate intentions at an event Thursday, Politico reported.
"Judge has spoken with most all of you on the phone over the past few weeks and is appreciative of your warm support," Judge Moore's wife Kayla wrote in a note to supporters, according to the report. "We will be making an official announcement regarding the race in Montgomery this Thursday."
Moore, who narrowly lost to Sen. Doug Jones, D-Ala., in a special election in 2017, was dodged by allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct with underage girls decades before becoming a judge and aspiring politician.
Despite Sen. Jones being viewed as vulnerable in his re-election campaign in the long-red state of Alabama, Moore's prospective campaign relaunch has been met with cold, if not frozen, response from congressional Republicans.
President Donald Trump urged Moore to stay out of the race, saying he cannot win.
The Republican primary for the Alabama Senate race figures to be crowded, including Rep. Bradley Byrne, R-Ala., ex-Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville, state Rep. Arnold Mooney, and state Secretary of State John Merrill, according to Politico.
