There are some Senate candidates who aren't sure Trump is in their interest yet, but they'll come along.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I must say I am not pleased to have to arrange the Senate schedule around the availability of Senators who are running for President.
Most senators are just going to work and trying to do a job.
I am considering running for Senate, as well as other opportunities.
If you want a senator who'll partner with the president to do what's best for the nation, I'm your guy.
Senators, like everyone else, want to feel a part of this decision-making process. They want to feel included.
Senators will do what they think they need to do to represent their constituents.
I believe being a good senator requires two things. Number one, acumen. Number two, interest.
As it became clear that Senator Rubio was likely to run for president, I received encouragement to consider running for the Senate.
If you look at the Constitution, the two clauses of the Constitution make it very clear the president shall nominate, and the Senate shall provide advice and consent. It's been since 1888 that a Senate of a different party than the president in the White House confirmed a Supreme Court nominee.
We'll look to the fall and if there is a new president and a new Senate that's part of a Congress willing to change, that's the next step.
