Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has been repeatedly asking Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to consider running for the soon-to-be vacated Senate seat currently held by long-time Senator Pat Roberts (R-KA), according to the Associated Press.
Pompeo, who briefly served as CIA director before assuming his current position, has publicly denied that he has any interest in running for Senate. According to the Wall Street Journal, in late July he told the Economic Club of Washington that the idea is “off the table.”
