“Oklahomans will then choose the long term, the six year term for the Senate at our normal election processes in June for the primary and then in November for the final election. So really April 1, 2 and 3, anyone who wants to file to be able to run for that Senate seat can file April 1, 2 and 3 and then so we'll know who at least is going to do it by five o' clock on April 3rd. Between now and then it is pure, pure speculation as folks are looking at the possibilities on him. But I have good folks be able to step up to run.” (07:36–07:50)
