Donald Trump is declining to oppose Jeff Sessions’ run for his former Senate seat, preferring to leave the matter to Alabama voters, according to Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway,
Sessions was Trump’s first backer in the Senate, but the two fell out spectacularly when he decided to recuse himself from the Russia investigation while serving as Trump's attorney general.
He was fired last year and largely disappeared from view, but he is expected to announce a Senate run on Thursday.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Conway said President Trump has not expressed an opinion. “The president hasn’t said anything,†she said. “I think the president is not willing to deny or divide the people of Alabama their rightful choices."
