An Arkansas lawmaker already has Sen. Tom Cotton's (R-AR) prospects in 2020 on his mind. State Sen. Bart Hester (R) introduced legislation that would let candidates appear on the ballot simultaneously as House or Senate candidates and presidential candidates as well.
Hester specifically mentioned Cotton when discussing the bill.
"Tom Cotton would be my current idea of someone who should be afforded this opportunity," Hester said, according to the Associated Press. "Politics, if I've learned anything, it changes every day and there could be the great next hope show up tomorrow. But I don't think it's reasonable to say I wouldn't be looking at Tom Cotton to have that opportunity."
No other politician, including Cotton, urged Hester to propose the legislation, Hester said.
"He didn't wave me off, but certainly didn't say 'go pass this bill,'" Hester said.
