AP sources: Secretary of State Pompeo won't run for Senate

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell that he will not run for an open Senate seat from Kansas this fall, two people close to McConnell said Monday. Pompeo's decision complicates the GOP's chances of holding what should be a guaranteed seat in the deep red state. The news comes days after the U.S. used an airstrike authorized by President Donald Trump to kill Qassem Soleimani, Iran's most powerful general and leader of that country's elite Quds Force.
