Jeff Flake decided he isn’t running anymore. He is one of two Senators that disapproved of Trump’s leadership.
Trump was disappointed that the Senator decided not to run anymore. He even said that Flake couldn’t win so that’s why he won’t run.
Flake believed that unless he becomes like Trump he won’t win. The Senator despised the thought of becoming this way.
This is the main reason he has decided not to run. Flake said he knew speaking out against Trump would cost him.
He gave a speech recently where he bore all before the American people.
Flake Say
“I couldn’t sleep at night having to embrace the President or condoning his behavior or being okay with some of his positions,” Flake said.
He continued “I just couldn’t do it — it was never in the cards.”
“I knew that when I spoke out at that time that I was out of step with a lot of the Republican primary voters, but I felt that I had to do it,” he said.
He continued “I had hoped and I still hope and I’m confident at some point that the fever will break. But it just became more and more apparent that it certainly wasn’t going to break by next year.”
