Secretary of State Mike Pompeo keeps insisting he’s not running for the open Senate seat in his home state of Kansas next year, but he’s not really acting like a man content with his current role.

Pompeo’s friends in Congress keep publicly urging him to go for it, while he has met privately with GOP mega-donors. He even met with the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, which usually hosts events for possible candidates. But if Pompeo really is aiming for Senate, that’s a mistake.
