Ambitious Raul Won’t Seek Senate

Rep. Raúl Labrador (R-Idaho) told The Hill on Friday that he isn’t thinking about running for Senate and that he won't launch a primary challenge against Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) in 2016. Labrador twice told The Hill that he’s not thinking about the Senate race and was adamant that he doesn't intend to primary Crapo. “I think Crapo is running for reelection and I don’t intend to challenge him at all,” Labrador said.The three-term lawmaker unsuccessfully challenged Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) last year for the House majority leader post, and Labrador has been a frequent leader for conservative causes/The Hill. More here. H/T: Sisyphus.

Question: Which higher seat do you think Congressman Labrador is really after? President?
