Hatch’s office fires back at Utah lawmaker for suggesting he will retire
“Never a dull moment in Utah’s politics. “Sen. Orrin Hatch’s (R-Utah) office on Wednesday fired back at Rep. Mia Love (R-Utah) for reportedly suggesting that he wouldn’t be running for Senate again in 2018. . . .“While we appreciate the Congresswoman’s concern for the future of this critical Senate seat, despite her own tightening House race, she has been misinformed. Senator Hatch has said he intends to run but will make a final decision by the end of the year,” a Hatch spokesperson said in a statement. “When that decision is made, he will make the announcement himself. Nobody — be they consultants, operatives, or reported ‘close friends’ — will make that decision or announcement for him.”

You wait a long time to be President Pro Tem. The Republicans with the House Senate and Presidency, only 3 times in a century? If the Senator has the energy, go for it.
