Condemning the nastiness of Republican politics in the era of President Donald Trump, Sen. Jeff Flake on Tuesday announced he will serve out the remainder of his term but will not seek re-election in 2018.
The bombshell, which Flake, R-Ariz., intended to detail Tuesday afternoon on the Senate floor, will further roil Republican hopes of keeping the party’s 52-seat Senate majority in the midterm elections of Trump’s first term, when the president’s party historically loses seats in Congress.
It also likely will upend the race for Flake’s seat.
Flake, one of the Senate’s more prominent critics of President Donald Trump, has been struggling in the polls.
Just a hunch, but me thinks Flake and COrker and others that “choose” not to run again, are probably armpit deep in the corruption and are about to be “found out”!
Can the people of TN and AZ recall these asses?
How is this going to "roil" anything? He was going to be primaried out by Kelli Ward.
