WASHINGTON - Republican pressure on Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to run for U.S. Senate next year to help keep the party’s majority intact is coming up against President Donald Trump’s hope of keeping one of his most trusted aides in his administration.
“Secretary Pompeo would clear the field and guarantee the Senate stays Republican,” said Scott Reed, senior political strategist at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. “I think there is some pressure within the White House to try to clear all this up. But the president wants him to stay,” said a Republican campaign official.
McConnell and other Republicans believe Pompeo can keep the U.S. Senate seat in Kansas now held by Pat Roberts, who has decided not to run for a fifth term. Republicans want to ensure a win in Kansas to improve their chances of maintaining control of the U.S. Senate amid concerns that 2020 could be a difficult year, with incumbents Martha McSally of Arizona and Cory Gardner of Colorado showing signs of weakness.
