Pompeo, now just 'Mike,' opens twitter account amid senate talk

WASHINGTON - Michael Pompeo on Saturday opened a personal Twitter account as rumours continue that the Secretary of State will run for the US Senate from Kansas in 2020.The State Department has requested in the past that the top US diplomat be referred to as"Michael" in media reports. The arrival of the more folksy"Mike" on social media hints at Pompeo's potential move back into politics.

The native Californian has been acting like a candidate - he's made at least four official visits to his adopted home state this year. In late October, Pompeo toured an aircraft manufacturer in Wichita, accompanied by White House adviser Ivanka Trump, and met with student athletes from Wichita State University, the Wichita Eagle newspaper reported.

Pompeo's Twitter bio describes him as"husband, father, Kansan and proud American." It shows that"Mike Pompeo" joined Twitter in August, but the account's first posts were about Saturday's Army-Navy football game.
