Celebs React to Doug Jones' Senate Win Over Roy Moore
Celebrities are speaking out to celebrate Doug Jones‘ win in the Alabama Senate race!
The Democrat defeated Republican candidate Roy Moore, who has been in the national news because of sexual misconduct accusations made against him by several women. One of the women was just 14 at the time.
Hillary Clinton, who was defeated in the 2016 presidential election by Donald Trump, took the moment to celebrate.
“Tonight, Alabama voters elected a senator who’ll make them proud. And if Democrats can win in Alabama, we can — and must — compete everywhere. Onward!” she wrote.
Stars like Kerry Washington, Ellen DeGeneres, Kumail Nanjiani, Julianne Moore, and many more have been tweeting as well. Read below!
