The political future of Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey is unknown, according to a report today, indicating that he may not run for reelection or for governor of Pennsylvania in 2022.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported the news Sunday, citing two people familiar with his plans.
While the 58-year-old Republican senator is expected to serve out his current term, he is not expected to seek another term or to run for governor, for which he was seen as a likely GOP candidate, according to the Inquirer.
Toomey is expected to make an announcement Monday morning, spokesman Steve Kelly said.
He has served in the U.S. Senate since 2011 and is now the only Republican holding a non-judicial statewide elective office in Pennsylvania.

Santorum served two terms. He was first elected in 1994. He won reelection in 2000. He lost his third race in 2006.
Pennsylvania elects solid conservatives and they go squishy.
One reason is that Pennsylvania is a blue state (Trump’s win notwithstanding).
A statewide office-holder must get some Phily & Pitt vote to survive because we do not get strong turnout from the rural areas in non-presidential cycles.
The second reason is McConnell takes these freshman senators and forces them to be moderates. McConnell is great on judges, but he is not a conservative...he hates the right wing of the GOP. Therefore, he works hard to water-down any solid constitutionalist into a moderate.
WTF are you yapping about?? Hate the Military?? i LOVE THE MILITARY! You are insane.
Nope. You are clueless which is sad and pathetic.
