He was going to announce yesterday, but out of respect for the families in Florida who were grieving after the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, he did not:
As a father and grandfather, my heart aches for the victims of today’s tragic events. My prayers go out to all of the families and loved ones affected by this senseless act of violence. (1/2)

Out of respect for the victims and their families, I will not be making an announcement tomorrow about the Senate race. (2/2)
