Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) says hes mulling a run for Senate in 2020, one day after he was passed over as a replacement for retiring Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.).<\/p>\n

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp named business executive Kelly Loeffler, 49, to replace Isakson, a 74-year-old who is leaving the seat because of health issues at the end of the year. She will serve until Jan. 2021. An election will decide who serves the next term.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump reportedly wanted Collins, one of his strongest allies in the House, to get the nomination, but Kemp went with Loeffler, saying she would be a strong supporter of the presidents agenda.<\/p>\n

Collins, 53, was asked if he was considering a run for Senate on Thursday. He said he wasnt ruling it out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI congratulated Miss Loeffler for being picked. You know, again, as I have said many times before: Im dealing with impeachment right now. And well make a statement or well deal with that after the fact. Im not ruling in, ruling it out,\u201d he said in an interview with NPRs \u201cAll Things Considered<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIm just simply stating a fact of where were at right now because I do not\u2014for my constituents, the state of Georgia and the country, Im in a position right now that has historical lights on it. I cannot be distracted from whatever I have to do up here to anything else.<\/p>\n
