Nigel Farage will speak in Fairhope, Alabama on Monday night, in support of Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore. On the campaign trail, Farage regularly compared Trump’s capture of the White House to the successful effort to push the UK out of the European Union. In return, Trump has urged prime minister Theresa May to make Farage ambassador to the US. Moore, who has the support of Sarah Palin and former Trump aide Sebastian Gorka, among others, is a deeply controversial figure, twice removed as Alabama chief justice. The Bannon ally said a win in Alabama would set the stage for primary fights in 2018 in states including Nevada, Mississippi, Tennessee and Arizona.
