Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump fully endorsed Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore on Twitter Monday morning.
Trump had hesitated to throw his full support behind the embattled Republican candidate in the wake of explosive accusations against him. His tweet Monday comes as recent polls show a close race.
"Democrats refusal to give even one vote for massive Tax Cuts is why we need Republican Roy Moore to win in Alabama," Trump tweeted. "We need his vote on stopping crime, illegal immigration, Border Wall, Military, Pro Life, V.A., Judges 2nd Amendment and more. No to Jones, a Pelosi/Schumer Puppet!"
The President went on to rail against Moore's Democratic opponent in the race, Doug Jones.
"Putting Pelosi/Schumer Liberal Puppet Jones into office in Alabama would hurt our great Republican Agenda of low on taxes, tough on crime, strong on military and borders...& so much more," Trump tweeted.
Moore expressed gratitude for Trump's public support, which comes eight days before the special election.
