It looks like Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona might be challenging Trump for the presidency in 2020.
Flake announced in October he intended not to run for re-election in 2018. On Sunday, during an appearance on ABC’s This Week, Flake responded to the question of whether he would be challenging President Trump in the next election cycle by leaving the door open.
“I don’t rule anything out, but it’s not in my plans,” he said.
Though Flake is an outspoken Trump critic who has recently been enjoying the reputation of being one of the few “honorable” Republicans who puts country over party — he recently donated money to the senatorial campaign of Democrat Doug Jones over accused pedophile Republican Roy Moore, for instance — it’s worth noting that Flake votes in line with Trump over 90% of the time.
