If Corker wants to speak, let him


26 September 2017

“After much thought, consideration and family discussion over the past year … I have decided that I will leave the United States Senate when my term expires at the end of 2018,” Corker, a two-term senator from Tennessee who chairs the powerful Senate foreign relations committee, said in a statement.

The announcement came as Corker, a vocal critic of Donald Trump, wrestled with his political future at an inflection point for the Republican party under the current administration.

Corker alluded to his disagreements with the direction of Trump’s presidency in his statement, saying: “The most important public service I have to offer our country could well occur over the next 15 months.”
