Sessions strongly considering bid for old Senate seat in Alabama
2019-10-29
[Politico] Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions is strongly considering jumping into the race for his old Senate seat in Alabama, according to multiple Republican sources familiar with the matter.

Sessions would scramble the already crowded field of Republicans seeking to take on Democratic Sen. Doug Jones, who won a 2017 special election to fill the remainder of Sessions' term and is widely viewed as the most vulnerable senator on the ballot next year.

Sessions served in the Senate for two decades before being tapped by President Donald Trump to lead the Justice Department. The two had a bitter, public falling out over Sessions' decision to recuse himself from the DOJ's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Sessions, 72, must decide within days whether to run: Candidates have until Nov. 8 to qualify for the ballot.

#4  He was out of his league when he ran for high school Glee Club treasurer. Gave the great State of Alabama a big black eye he did.

#3  Sessions was AWOL from his office as DOJ AG. He should not have recused himself, was weak (caved to the Dems) and did little to clean up the mess in the DOJ and FBI. There are no guarantees he wouldn't be another Romney.
