Congratulations to Roy Moore on his Republican Primary win in Alabama. Luther Strange started way back & ran a good race. Roy, WIN in Dec!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 27, 2017

The Alabama Secretary of State's office told ABC News Thursday that regardless of Moore's decision on whether to stay in the race, his name will still appear on the ballot according to state law. The special election is set for Dec. 12.
