| Description | WASHINGTON — Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar isn’t helping the Republican who beat him in this month’s primary get elected in the fall.
“For the time being, I don’t plan an active campaign,” Lugar said on CBS’ “Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer” Sunday.
Lugar repeated what he said primary night, that he hopes Hoosiers will vote for state Treasurer Richard Mourdock because he wants Republicans to take control of the Senate.
But Lugar also repeated his criticism that Mourdock won’t be an effective senator unless he drops his position that Washington needs less bipartisanship.
“I’ve offered advice to my former opponent and now candidate as to the kind of way he might be a constructive senator, how he can make any difference whatsoever,” Lugar said. “I hope that he will in fact begin to adopt some of those ideas.” |
