Michele Bachmann says she will not run for Sen. Al Franken’s vacated Senate seat because God told her not to run. The Republican ex-congresswoman had previously expressed interest in running for the seat after Franken resigned amid multiple sexual-misconduct allegations leveled against him. “I considered it for quite a long time,” Bachmann said during an interview this weekend. “From the very first day when Al Franken had announced his resignation from the U.S. Senate, I went before the Lord and it became very clear to me that I wasn’t hearing any call from God to do this.”
