Politico reports:

Arkansas Sen.

The senator has been reaching out to donors, supporters and senior Republicans over the last few days to inform them of his plans.

Cotton has attributed his decision to family concerns, saying that a national campaign would take him away from his two young sons, who are seven and five years old.
