“I want to be on offense with the president and the vice president because this is a turning point in our country,” Strange told “Fox & Friends” as voters in Alabama cast their ballots.

“We can’t have any more obstructionists, any more people that just want to give speeches. We need results, conservative results. That’s why I want to be up there. I think that’s why I’ve hit it off with the president so well.”

Trump has endorsed Strange, campaigning for him in Alabama last week. The president’s endorsement puts him at odds with his support base and has allied him with Senate GOP leadership.

It has also put Trump up against his former chief strategist, Stephen Bannon, who has thrown his support behind Moore. Moore’s backers have sought to portray Strange as a member of the corrupt Washington, D.C., establishment who needs to be ousted.

Moore in a recent poll led Strange by about 11 points.
