The governor  who is term-limited  made the announcement Thursday in a news release. âWhile Crissy and I will always be grateful for all of the encouragement and support to run for the United States Senate  I am announcing today that I will not be a candidate for Senate in 2018 â  Haslam  said in a statement.

While conservatives have been coalescing around a potential candidacy of Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN-07)   Haslamâs  decision not to run leaves a void that the establishment Republicans in the state are likely to fill with another candidate.

question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jerry Brown ? California Gov. Jerry Brown (D)  delivers  his  final State of the State address in Sacramento on Jan. 25. Democrats who want to replace  him  are aiming even further left in a state already known for its liberal politics. (Pool/Reuters)
Here in the self-labeled âstate of resistance â the political debate is being pushed further left without any sign of a Republican renaissance to serve as a check on spending and social policy ambitions. Even some Republicans are concerned about the departure of Gov. Jerry Brown (D)  who proved to be fiscally cautious after inheriting a state seven years ago in deep recession.
âYou are going to be talking about Democrat-on-Democrat crime  for the most part â said Bill Whalen  a research fellow at Stanford Universityâs Hoover Institution. âWhat also is certain is that the next governor is going to be more progressive than Jerry Brown.â
In his final State of the State address on Jan. 25   Brown  said California is âprospering â a nod to a growing economy that is the sixth-largest in the world.
But in an interview after the speech   Brown  said that âdoes not mean all Californians are prospering â and  he  made a distinction between the coastal âconsulting classâ and rural laborers whose âculture of working with their handsâ is disappearing.
âThe state is more divided â  Brown  said. âAnd itâs divided this way right across the country.â
 Brown  said  he  is uncertain whether  he  will endorse in the race to succeed  him   even though Newsom also is a Bay Area Democrat who  on climate change in particular  supports the governorâs policies. Some of  Brown âs transportation initiatives  including a high-speed rail project from Los Angeles to San Francisco that is bursting its budget  remain in question.
âI donât think the people of Tulare County or Modoc County want to hear from  Jerry Brown  on who to vote for. Maybe the people in Oakland would  I donât know â  Brown  said. âIâll decide what to do based on 45 years of campaigning in this state.â
answer:
Positive


question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michael Flynn ? At some point before President Trumpâs inauguration  disgraced national security adviser Michael Flynn assured an ex-business partner that economic sanctions on Russia would be âripped upâ as soon as the new administration entered the White House  according to documents made public Wednesday.
 Flynn  made the promise to Alex Copson  a managing partner of a Russia-connected energy company  a whistleblower told Rep. Elijah Cummings this summer.
Trump calls  Flynn  guilty plea âa shame â blames FBI  Hillary
The unnamed whistleblowerâs claims pose the strongest evidence yet that the nascent Trump White House was looking to rescind sanctions against Russia and also suggests that  Flynn  could have had a personal financial stake in the matter.
 Flynn   who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI last week  worked together with Copsonâs company  ACU Strategic Partners  until June 2016. Their work together involved a deal with the Russian government to build nuclear power plants in the Middle East.
Copson apparently told the whistleblower during an Inauguration Day event in Washington  D.C. that  Flynn  had just texted him that the power plant venture was âgood to go.â
Rep. Elijah Cummings called on the House Oversight Committee to issue subpoenas for White House records pertaining to  Flynn 's contacts with Copson. (Manuel Balce Ceneta/AP)
 Flynn âs lawyer did not immediately return a request for comment from the Daily News.
 Flynn  was fired less than a month into  his  tenure as national security adviser after it became clear that  he  had lied to Vice President Mike Pence about  his  contacts with a Russian diplomat. On Friday   Flynn  became the first current or former Trump administration official to agree to cooperate with special prosecutor Robert Muellerâs investigators.
âThese grave allegations compel a full  credible and bipartisan congressional investigation â Cummings wrote  adding that  Flynn  appears to have "sought to manipulate the course of international nuclear policy for the financial gain of  his  former business partners."
answer:

Negative
