Seven months after he was canned by President Trump, ex-attorney general Jeff Sessions remains mired in the commander in chief’s doghouse, and likely won’t get White House backing if he decides to run for his old Senate seat.

Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby said he had spoken with Sessions, a former Cotton State senator himself, about running for his old job, but that he’d also spoken to Trump about it, and the president was less than enthused, The Hill reported Thursday.

“I did talk to [Sessions]. I talked to the president about it too … about if Sessions ran. He was not encouraging,” Shelby said.

“How do I say it? He was not on board, OK?”

Sessions was fired last November after enduring months of abuse from the president, who remained livid that he had recused himself from the special counsel’s Russia investigation.

Sessions has not declared his candidacy but has also not ruled out a run.
