With four years left in his second term, Ben Sasse quit his job as a senator to be president of the University of Florida. He says there was too little substance in the Senate, and too much absence from his family. “We got a lot of people who serve in government who really do think the highest and greatest thing you can ever do is have the title senator or congressman. Bullshit. The best thing you can do is be called Dad or Mom, lover, neighbor, friend,” says Sasse. Sasse, age 54 and dying of pancreatic cancer, sat down with 60 Minutes to share his message on faith, family, and the future of the country. #cancer #bensasse #congress #uspolitics #senate
