The article, dated from 2025-2026, suggests a growing desire among some senators to seek positions outside of the federal government. Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn), Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala), Michael Bennet (D-Colo), and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn) are pictured in the article, though it is not explicitly stated that all are considering running for governor.
