i believe he's the 33rd such prominent republican, the sixth key committee member to not run again. a lot of republicans are getting nervous. because recruiting big names has been difficult to fill the void. are you worried? >> i'm really not, neil. in fact, i'm running for the u.s. senate because i think 2018 will be a great year. here's why. the results of 2017 have been great for the american people. you've got 17-year low in unemployment, record levels on the stock market. employers all over the country investing in capitol and employees with raises and bonuses. when we take our case to the american people, it's going to be a great year. the american people don't care about all of this drama out here in washington. they want to know what the results are. 2017 was a great start. we need to do more. that's what you'll hear from president trump tomorrow night. he will talk about all the great conservative successes of 2017
