Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said he warned Sessions during a recent conversation about his potential candidacy that he needed to make up with Trump.
"He is a friend of mine. I'll be doing everything I can to encourage him," Cornyn said. "The problem, as I pointed out to him, is, 'I think your life is going to be very difficult unless you work out some sort of reconciliation with the president.' "

The seat, which Sessions easily held for two decades before leaving for the Trump administration, is currently filled by a Democrat. Doug Jones won the seat from a traditionally conservative state in a special election in 2017, beating Republican Roy Moore, who faced allegations that he propositioned teenagers when he was in his 30s. Moore is running again, joined by Rep. Bradley Byrne and several other Republicans in the state.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has shared concerns that Sessions' running could create a messy primary contest for a seat that Republicans say they have to win back, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the issue. Trump has repeatedly denigrated Sessions to allies and White House aides in recent days, people familiar with his comments said.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., one of Trump's closest allies on Capitol Hill, called Sessions a "fine man" but added that he wouldn't endorse him in the primary.
"The whole campaign's going to be around what President Trump said about Jeff Sessions," Graham said. "I think Jeff knows what he's getting into and we'll leave it up to the voters of Alabama."

Bizarre...
Hope you’re not in Alabama.
Burr is beyond hope. R’s have Senate majority but the D’s favorite chew toy gives IC “co-leadership” voluntarily to the idiot Warner. “Co” is strictly cover ... D’s told Burr we WILL have control in the Minority, but you can save face by calling it “Co-leadership”.
Sessions was a reliable conservative senator, but proved himself a coward as AG. Instead of tackling the most flagrant corruption in the government, he found a sorry-ass excuse to ditch his duties and decided instead to chase potheads.
I’m not an Alambaman but if I were I probably wouldn’t vote for him. At least I would take a hard look at the competition....except Moore. He can’t win.
I have a strong feeling that if the FBi decided to put Strzok back at #3 or 4 in the most powerful Division of the FBi, wed hear here, he seems sorry, I think hes sincere, he really cant hurt anybody there, he means well.
Thats exactly where we are with Sessions.
Comey is still laughing his head off.
Heres a notion, AL business is all of our business when there is such a narrow R (53 to 47) majority in Congress.
Roy Moore would be trouble.
Sessions was always one of the best border protection Senators we ever had.

I hope youre not assuming that it is a decision between Sessions (no longer trustworthy) and Moore (a buffoon and piss-poor campaigner) because ITS NOT. There are other candidates. For example, Arnold Mooney (endorsed by the Senate Conservatives Fund) is a very viable candidate who would definitively defeat Doug Jones and would be even stronger than Sessions used to be on citizenship/border issues.
Any Republican but Moore.
Well said Tony! Sessions sure has more than a few folks snowed doesn’t he? Sad.
I see a lot of Cult thinking to ignore Sessions character and his actions.
Sessions was no victim, he proactively shielded the Deep State Coup Conspirators.
What now? There was no attempt to take Trump out?
,
Thats Coach Tommy Tubberville and he does have great name recognition in Alabama. He also never betrayed President Trump so thats a big plus compared to Sleepy Sessions.
Is Sessions hoping to see Doug Jones reelected?
“Arnold Mooney (endorsed by the Senate Conservatives Fund) is a very viable candidate who would definitively defeat Doug Jones and would be even stronger than Sessions used to be on citizenship/border issues.”
Exactly right.
Fine by me (not in Alabama).
But is there nothing he did in the last 50 years that the media can’t make a ‘cause celeb’ of?
They’ll look at least that far for something.
Yes. Trump will support sessions because he knew all along that sessions was really drawing out the Dems plans by stalling the investigation of the Russian collusion delusion. Trump was playing 3rd deminsional chess and he and sessions had the whole game worked out including the recusal from day one.
People like comey and mueller, Republicans like sessions, also played their roles well by setting up the deep state with Trump. No one could have suspected this. That was 4th dimensional chess.
Yes, these are national heroes and grass root Republicans and conservatives are grateful for their service to the nation.
In my next post, I will explain how Brennan and Clinton are really working for Trump too, 5th dimensional you know.

Yes, and don’t overlook Obama’s role in this chess match.
He defeated Hillary in 2008 so that Trump would succeed him in 2016.
As a child in Hawaii, he grew to resent his grandparents’ communist indoctrination and swore an oath to save the USA by electing a MAGA president in the future.
Manipulated news we can absolutely believe from the honest, reliable, and patriotic Washington Poop...
Well, 0bama was named world’s greatest gun salesman.
Yes, it’s all part of the multidimensional plan.
Most, like me, won’t back sessions unless he wins the primary and is the only “R” with a chance for the seat...then I would imagine the President and others would “endorse” him and I’ll also send him a few bucks.
