President Donald Trump said he was disappointed by Roy Moore’s loss in Alabama, but that other Republicans were pleased that the controversial Senate candidate was not coming to Washington, DC.

“A lot of Republicans feel differently, they’re very happy about the way it turned out, but as the leader of the party, I would have liked to have this seat,” Trump told reporters during a meeting with House and Senate conference members, who are working to finish the tax cut bill before Christmas.

Trump said that he endorsed the Senate candidates that were running, putting his support for Moore in practical terms.
