Tony Perkins Leaves Door Open To Running For Vitter's Senate Seat

DANIEL STRAUSS – JANUARY 22, 2014, 5:39 PM EST

Family Research Council President Tony Perkins signaled he was open to running for Sen. David Vitter's (R-LA) Senate seat.

Vitter, earlier in the week, formally announced his candidacy for governor in 2015. Because he's not up for reelection until 2016 Vitter can run for governor without giving up his Senate seat. Perkins suggested to The Hill on Wednesday that he would run for Vitter's Senate seat if the current senator was elected governor.

"I never say never anymore," Perkins told The Hill.

Perkins has hinted at possibly running either for Congress or Senate before. In the same interview with The Hill Perkins also jabbed at Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), who's running in the Senate race against Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA).
