CNBC’s Larry Kudlow will not run for Senate in Connecticut, reports Dylan Byers of CNNMoney.
Byers writes, “Kudlow later made it official by announcing it on his show.
“‘Last summer, a lot of Republican officials in Connecticut and Washington, senators and friends of mine urged me to run for the Senate in Connecticut,’ Kudlow said. ‘Judy and I looked at this thing, exploring every angle really for about seven months talking to friends — in and out of politics, by the way. Everybody was very helpful. At the end of the day, we decided against it, that the best course for me was to do exactly what I’m doing, which I love.’
Kudlow’s decision to forego a Senate bid makes life easier for CNBC, which can retain Kudlow as a commentator without risking a conflict of interest.
CNBC’s senior vice president of public relations Brian Steel said, ‘While I’m sure Larry would have made a fantastic senator, I’m happy he is sticking around.'”
