    Michele Bachmann Says She's Considering Running For Al Franken's Senate Seat

    Former Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) said over the weekend that she is considering running for Senate.
    Bachmann, who represented Minnesota’s 6th Congressional District for eight years, said in an interview with “The Jim Bakker Show” that people had urged her to run in 2018 to replace outgoing Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.). She said she is asking God if she should enter the race.


    “The question is: Should it be me, should it be now?“ Bachmann said. “But there’s also a price you pay. And the price is bigger than ever because the swamp is so toxic.”
    Bachmann retired from Congress in 2014 amid investigations into alleged violations of campaign finance law during her short-lived presidential run in 2012. The former tea party darling was briefly regarded as a serious presidential contender in 2011 after winning the Iowa straw poll, but she quickly flamed out amid low polling numbers and the unexpected victory of former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) in the Iowa caucuses.

    Former Republican congresswoman Michele Bachmann said on a radio program Saturday that she will not run for the Senate in 2018.
    Appearing on "Understanding the Times Radio" with Jan Markell, Bachmann said she prayed and did not receive a message from God to run: "I took it to the Lord in a very quiet way," she said. "I tried to have my ears open and hear what God was saying to me, and I considered it for quite a long time. It became very clear to me that I wasn't hearing any call from God to do this."
