Jeff Sessions is reportedly considering running for his old Senate seat in Alabama. The former Attorney General left his Senate seat when he was nominated by Trump to become Attorney General.
According to Fox News:
Jeff Sessions, ousted as President Trump’s attorney general this week, is contemplating a run for his old Alabama Senate seat in 2020 against Democratic Sen. Doug Jones — though those who know Sessions aren’t convinced he will ultimately pull the trigger on another campaign.
A source close to the former attorney general told Fox News that Sessions is “considering it but his mind isn’t made up.” That person added that Sessions, known for his stances on illegal immigration and trade, “was advocating for the Trump agenda back when it was called the Sessions agenda.”
Others, though, don’t see Sen. Sessions 2.0 actually happening.
“He should spend his time being the devoted husband, father, and grandfather we know he is,” said Garrett Murch, a former Sessions Senate aide.
Sessions’ continues to defend the Mueller probe and says he hasn’t made a decision yet on whether he will run for office or not.
