That leaves former Attorney General Kelly Ayotte as the clear favorite for the nomination. National Republicans put pressure on Ayotte to get into the race, and she resigned last week in anticipation of a bid.
“Many Republicans have encouraged me to be their voice as a candidate for office next year,” Tausch said in a statement. “It was an honor to be approached and I gave the prospect serious consideration. But after careful deliberation, I’ve decided not to enter public service at this time.”
On Monday, Ayotte filed papers with the Federal Election Commission to form an exploratory committee.
