President Trump on Friday said that Roy Moore should concede the election.

President Trump on Friday said that it's time for Republican Roy Moore to accept Democrat Doug Jones' win in Tuesday's Alabama Senate election.
When asked by a reporter if Moore should concede, Trump said, "I think he should. He tried. Always, I want to support the person running. We need the seat...but as far as Moore is concerned, I'd certainly say he should."
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders also commented on the matter during a press briefing on Thursday.
Sanders said that Trump "likes Doug Jones and looks forward to meeting him in person and hopes that he will come and follow through on his commitment to work with the president on some things that they agree on."
In regard to whether that amounts to an acknowledgment that the election results are legitimate, Sanders commented, "I think the numbers reflect that and I think the president's outreach shows that." 
The day Jones was declared the winner of the election, Moore said in a video address to his supporters, "When the vote is this close, it's not over," and mentioned that he intended to have the ballots recounted, reports the Huffington Post.
Results from Tuesday show Jones won by a margin of 1.5%. 
While narrow, the margin does exceed the state's threshold for an automatic recount.
