In Senate, Toomey a bit of a unicorn - Only GOP no on USMCA - Criticized Stone pardon - "Inappropriate" Trump conduct on Ukraine (voted to acquit) - One of two Senate Rs that support expanded background checks - Doesn't reflexively defend Trump — PolitiTweet.org

Toomey retirement a blow in Pennsylvania, for sure. But also on national level. Every Senate seat matters this fall because... -Lots of GOP Senate seats up in 2022: Wis., Pa., Ohio, N.C., Mo., Fla., Iowa. -Dem seats that are up are in Colo., N.H., Nev. https://t.co/4xBgG2BFFv — PolitiTweet.org

Toomey asked if ACB vote should still be before election with three GOP senators positive with coronavirus. "We should go forward. I think we can absolutely do it safely." — PolitiTweet.org

Toomey says Trump's conduct plays no part in his decision. "I decided early on I am not responsible for the president's Twitter feed" Defends his ability to win, even as he says he's not running for anything: "I think if I decided to run I would have won again" — PolitiTweet.org

"I've made a decision, it's not going to change, and I want everybody to know," he says. Says he decided a few days ago. His explanation of the interesting timing of announcement right before 2020 election is basically, he decided and wanted to get it out there" — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

"I reached this decision before the president was diagnosed" Why announce this now? "That's a good question ... in recent weeks I've been getting phone calls on a daily basis from people saying: I want to help you run for governor. I want to help your reelection campaign" — PolitiTweet.org

This puts a battleground seat on the table. Toomey’s win in 2016 was a huge deal. He never took a position on Trump until Election Day. And on the spectrum among currently serving Senate Republicans, he’s been among the most critical of Trump on trade and conduct — PolitiTweet.org
