His name would have to be on the KY primary ballot for senator, even if unopposed.
I think the deadline for deciding on having his name listed for the presidential Primary is April 1 before the date of the May primary.
If he decided to be listed for President, I would think he would have withdraw from the senatorial race, and that might lead to no Republican nominee for the November election due to the April 1 candidacy filing requirement. Even if there is another way to have a nominee, the outcome would likely be turning over the seat to a Democrat.
He’d be best to stick with the senate. I can’t see him getting the presidential nomination.
“His name would have to be on the KY primary ballot for senator, even if unopposed.”
Right - his biggest problem is the primary ballot, and that’s why he is trying to get the KY GOP to consider going to a caucus.
By the time he’d have to file to be on the November ballot, he’ll know that he doesn’t have any chance of being President, and that he should stick to the Senate.
Ok. Thanks. Stay a Senator is ok. I wouldn’t vote for him as President though
