Senate Republicans have been closely watching Mike Enzi, figuring he may decide to call it quits after 24 years in the chamber. But most were unaware of the low-key Wyomingite's weekend plans
Wyoming Sen. Mike Enzi will not run for reelection next year, the four-term Republican senator said on Saturday.
Enzi is among the least flashy personalities in the Capitol. He often literally keeps his head down, immersed in either thought or reading, typically wielding an e-reader device. The Senate field is likely to be frozen until Cheney — already a statewide elected official — makes a decision. What she decides to do has outsized impact on House Republican politics, as well. If she runs for the Senate, it will remove a potential threat to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and House Minority Whip Steve Scalise . If she decides to stay in the House, it's a sign she is interested in moving up in House Republican leadership in the coming years.
While a fiscal conservative, Enzi has taken a couple of positions that defied conservative orthodoxy. He supported legislation that would allow states to charge a sales tax that divided Republicans and also has backed raising the federal gas tax in the past.
