Corker: No Regrets Over Sitting Out Pres. Race

Posted

U.S. Senator Bob Corker said he doesn't have any regrets about sitting out this year's presidential campaign.

The Tennessee Republican in 2014 floated his name as a potential candidate, but announced by early the next year that he decided against making a bid.

Corker said after a recent Rotary Club speech in Chattanooga he hasn't had any second thoughts about sitting out what has turned out to be a tumultuous campaign for the Republican nomination.

In the senator's words: "I don't think this year was necessarily the year that a candidate such as myself was what the country was looking for."

Corker has turned back speculation that Donald Trump might consider him as a running mate, saying it's not something he has any control over.
