AR Times: “Politico is reporting that Tom Cotton is telling his people that he won’t run for president in 2024 after all.
He falls back on the old family ruse — a campaign would take him away from his young kids.
We’ve heard that excuse before. I think a couple of factors are also likely contributing.
Looks like Donald Trump will run again. Cotton can’t very well oppose someone he’s supported so slavishly, though he reportedly claims that wouldn’t deter him.
More plausible: All the people in New Hampshire and Iowa Cotton has been courting (taking valuable time away from his family) may not have been charmed by the charisma-challenged senator who claims to be from Arkansas.”
