Republican Sen. Thad Cochran still hasn’t decided if he’ll run for a seventh term next year, but political experts said there’s no reason for him to feel rushed.

Cochran’s seat is considered solidly Republican, and he’s not likely to face a formidable challenger, experts say. That’s partly because he’s been effective in securing federal money.
