Toomey said Moore’s explanations had been inadequate and that Republicans should consider Sen. Luther Strange as a write-in candidate to run against Moore.

The White House has already made clear that Moore should step aside if the allegations are proven to be true. But a Moore victory also would pose risks if he were to join the Senate GOP with a cloud of sexual misconduct allegations. Roy Moore, the Republican nominee for an open U.S. Senate seat in Alabama, was plunged into an explosive scandal on Thursday when it was reported that he had sexual contact with minors.
