Source: The Hill

Republican Rep. Francis Rooney (Fla.), who this week refused to rule out impeaching President Trump, announced Saturday that he won't seek reelection.

Rooney revealed his decision in a Fox News interview. A spokesman for Rooney confirmed to The Hill that the lawmaker won't run for a third-term.

"I don't think I really do and I don't think I really want one," Rooney said in the interview when asked if he needed a third term.

Rooney said he came to Congress to secure money for Everglades projects and for an offshore drilling ban to protect Florida.
