Wouldn't Johnson have publicly stated he'd be retiring if that rumor is true?
Johnson left it in the air.
Originally he said he'd only run for two terms but then he walked it back.
Then he said he'd prefer to retire. Although he is receiving pressure from Trump and probably Rick Scott/Mitch McConnell to run again.
Republicans might have a better chance at holding the seat without Johnson, since he's controversial.
I really doubt if that's true: name recognition and incumbency matter a lot, and maybe now more than ever.
But back to AZ--how much of an effect for a Trump endorsement even have on the R primary btw Masters and Brnovich?
