“I don’t rule anything out, but it’s not in my plans,” Flake said.
“Like I said, I haven’t thought that deeply about it,” he said. “But I do believe if the President is running for re-election, if he continues on the path that he’s on, that that’s going to leave a huge swath of voters looking for something else.”
He also said that Trump is inviting a presidential challenger.

Flake has been an outspoken critic of President Trump, and he recently announced that he will not run for reelection to the U.S. Senate next year.
