CNBC senior contributor Larry Kudlow is leaning towards running for the United States Senate in Connecticut against Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D), following the incumbent's vote in support of the Iran nuclear deal.
"We're looking at it really carefully and I'm leaning toward it. I'm not ready to make an announcement, you know there's a lot of moving parts to these things," Kudlow told Dennis House on WFSB's "Face the State."
This comes almost a month after he said he would challenge Blumenthal if he voted in favor of the deal on his radio show. Blumenthal joined nearly every other Democratic Senator in doing so.
"I'm very disappointed in that vote. I think it was a terrible vote. I think he put party over country" Kudlow said. "We're giving Iran, or we're allowing Iran to get roughly $150 billion some odd dollars and that is a huge mistake in my opinion. They're going to use that money to kill more American soldiers as they have for many many years, to increase their dominance in the Middle East and of course the nuclear side of it doesn't make any sense to me, it's unverifiable and the Iranians lie and there are secret deals."
It would be a tough fight, however. House noted that it has been 77 years since a Republican challenger defeated a Democratic senator in Connecticut.
