Pompeo Keeps Ducking Questions About Senate Race

September 8, 2019 at 2:35 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“Secretary of State Mike Pompeo continued to deflect questions Sunday about his political future, declining to swear off a run for the Senate from his home state of Kansas next year,” the Washington Post reports.

“Pompeo, who represented the southern portion of central Kansas for six years in the House before joining President Trump’s Cabinet, has been Senate Republican leaders’ top choice to replace retiring Sen. Pat Roberts (R). They believe he could clear the GOP field and easily win the general election.”
