The Washington Post reports that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday “signaled that he is open to considering a” 2020 bid to succeed retiring Sen. Pat Roberts, R., Kan., “months after he declared that he had ruled out a bid.”
The Post says that “in an interview with KCMO Radio in Kansas City, Pompeo repeated his familiar refrain that he intends to continue as Secretary of State “so long as President Trump wants me to be engaged in this activity.”
However, the Post said Pompeo left himself more wiggle room than previous statements, suggesting the door remains open to a Senate bid.
“I always leave open the possibility that something will change and my path in life will change too,” Pompeo remarked.
Pompeo represented the Kansas fourth congressional district from 2011-2017 when he was tapped to be come the head of the Central Intelligence Agency.
