WASHINGTON, Dec. 25 (UPI) -- Actor Ben Affleck said via Facebook he will not run for U.S. Senate should Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., vacate his seat to become secretary of state.
"I love Massachusetts and our political process, but I am not running for office," Affleck, 40, posted to Facebook Monday. "We are about to get a great Secretary of State and there are some phenomenal candidates in Massachusetts for his Senate seat. I look forward to an amazing campaign."
