Trump says Pompeo would easily win Senate seat in Kansas
Washington has been awash in speculation about Pompeo’s possible departure amid growing strain in his relationship with Trump. The president, in an interview on “Fox & Friends,” appeared to give his blessing to a Pompeo candidacy.
Pompeo has said he’ll remain secretary of state as long as Trump will have him. Asked if he will push Pompeo to run, Trump was noncommittal: Pompeo ignored a reporter’s shouted question Friday about a possible Senate run when asked about Trump’s comments during a State Department appearance with the visiting foreign minister of the United Arab Emirates. And en route to Brussels on Tuesday, Pompeo suggested to reporters accompanying him that he would be returning to the city several more times as secretary of state.
Kobach still has a following on the right, and the buzz about Pompeo is a sign that he remains a formidable candidate. But Rep. Roger Marshall, of western Kansas, had nearly $1.9 million in campaign funds at the end of September — twice as much as Kobach and the other major candidates combined. Trump has suspiciously viewed the parade of diplomats and career foreign policy officials who have testified in the impeachment inquiry that he inappropriately held up military aid for Ukraine to pressure its leader to investigation the Bidens. Trump was eager to paint the officials as “Never Trumpers” or part of the so-called “Deep State” conspiracy meant to unravel him, but a number of the officials were appointed by Trump — at Pompeo’s direction.
Yet Pompeo has continued to stay close to Trump. He declined to support State Department employees at a news conference, attacked the impeachment proceedings and refused to publicly break with the president.
