Of course they do. Mike Pompeo and Ben Sasse were similarly placed by prominent party officials/donors.

REMINDER:

“Ambition characterizes and distinguishes national officeholders from other kinds of human beings,” Cotton wrote [in his senior thesis]. “Inflammatory passion and selfish interest characterizes most men, whereas ambition characterizes men who pursue and hold national office. Such men rise from the people through a process of self-selection since politics is a dirty business that discourages all but the most ambitious.”

“National officeholders have an enlarged ambition and mental acuity that distinguishes them from all other sorts of men,” Cotton wrote. And where such men belong, he argued—where they will naturally find their place—is in the U.S. Senate.
