Now she’s going all-in to support Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate [Doug Jones](http://time.com/5058148/roy-moore-doug-jones-alabama/) from Alabama. In fact, she’s even [maxed out](https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/individual-contributions/?two%5Fyear%5Ftransaction%5Fperiod=2018&contributor%5Fname=Rosie+O&min%5Fdate=01%2F01%2F2017&max%5Fdate=12%2F31%2F2018) her allowable campaign donation to Jones, as a representative for O’Donnell confirmed to TIME. (The maximum contribution [is set](https://transition.fec.gov/pages/brochures/citizens.shtml) to $2,700 from a single individual, as outlined by the Federal Election Commission.) O’Donnell’s involvement in political discourse has spiked in the last few years, following a spate of attacks made on her by her [long-term association](http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0710/15/lkl.01.html) with [now-President Trump](http://time.com/4667017/rosie-odonnel-steve-bannon-photo/). Her response has been send sharp reprimands and to support opponents of the Republican party, including Georgia congressional candidate [Jon Ossoff](http://variety.com/2017/biz/news/georgia-special-election-hollywood-jon-ossoff-karen-handel-1202470926/) and Texas senate candidate [Beto O’Rourke](https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/05/beto-orourke-ted-cruz-texas-senate-2018). Alabama’s Jones and his Republican opponent, [Roy Moore](http://time.com/5059308/jimmy-kimmel-donates-roy-moore-opponent-doug-jones/), are facing off in an embattled election for a vacant U.S. Senate seat, with the election slated to take place Tuesday, Dec. 12\. Moore has come under fire for [accusations of sexual misconduct](http://time.com/5031448/leigh-corfman-roy-moore-accuser/) with minors, including teens, when he was in his thirties. Currently, the polls are inconclusive. New Jersey Senator Cory Booker campaigned for Jones, and Barack Obama recently recorded a robocall on his behalf. Entertainment figures [like Jimmy Kimmel](http://time.com/5059308/jimmy-kimmel-donates-roy-moore-opponent-doug-jones/) have also joined O’Donnell in donating to the campaign. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5059509/rosie-odonnell-doug-jones/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5059509/rosie-odonnell-doug-jones/"},"headline":"Rosie O'Donnell Went All in For Roy Moore's Opponent Doug Jones","datePublished":"2017-12-11T21:58:20.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:49:13.124Z","description":"The actor has contributed the maximum amount allowed to the Democratic candidate's campaign opposing embattled Republican Roy Moore.","url":"https://time.com/5059509/rosie-odonnell-doug-jones/","keywords":["Newsfeed","politics","celebrities","Roy Moore"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5264878ff5787006/6988f4a7e76ad2a78c630439/rosie-odonnell.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5264878ff5787006/6988f4a7e76ad2a78c630439/rosie-odonnell.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"\"Sunday In The Park With George\" Opening Night - Arrivals","caption":"\"Sunday In The Park With George\" Opening Night - Arrivals","creditText":"Gonzalo Marroquin—Patrick McMullan via Getty Image","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5059509/rosie-odonnell-doug-jones/","name":"Rosie O'Donnell Went All in For Roy Moore's Opponent Doug Jones"}}]}] ```
