Is Lee Zeldin Running for U.S. Senate?
Dan Clark: Turning now to politics in New York, former Congressman Lee Zeldin, who was last year's Republican nominee for governor, spoke to reporters in Albany this week for the first time since the election, and he said he's not leaving politics anytime soon. Some political forecasters think he may run for U.S. Senate next year against Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, and Zeldin did say he's forming a new federal political action committee but said nothing's official just yet.
Lee Zeldin: I don't have anything to announce right now. What I do know is that I'm going to stay very active. I want to do my part. I just had reserve duty yesterday and the day before. I enjoy serving in the military and finishing my 20th year in May. I will continue to serve. I do believe that at some point there will be a reentry to government, exactly what that will be and when we'll see.
DC: We'll be watching that as well.
