The Roy Moore campaign began running President Donald Trump’s robocall Sunday night where he implores Alabama voters to support the Republican Senate candidate to further the “Make American Great Again” agenda.

“We need Roy voting for us and stopping illegal immigration and crime, rebuilding a stronger military and protecting the Second Amendment and our pro-life values,” Trump’s voice is heard saying in a robocall obtained by ABC News. “But if Alabama elects liberal Democrat Doug Jones, all of our progress will be stopped full.”

“Roy Moore is the guy we need to pass our ‘Make America Great Again’ agenda,” the call said.

The robocall, made just two days before the special election, represents Trump’s most explicit show of support for Moore thus far.

Trump did not travel to Alabama to campaign for Moore — in keeping with promises made by the White House in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations against Moore — however, he did hold a rally in Pensacola, Fla., just 20 miles from the Alabama state line on Friday.

During the rally Trump asked the crowd how many of them traveled from Alabama and urged those who had to “get out and vote for Roy Moore.”

Moore’s polling numbers dropped precipitously in mid-November in the wake of allegations that he molested a 14-year-old, sexually assaulted a 16-year-old and pursued romantic relationships with multiple teen girls while in his thirties.

GOP leadership and the Republican National Committee (RNC) initially withdrew support for Moore, calling on him to resign. However, as his numbers rebounded in early December, Trump endorsed Moore and the RNC quickly followed suit, resuming their financial support for the embattled campaign.

Moore now enjoys a slight lead over his opponent, Democratic candidate Doug Jones just one day before the special election.
