John Kerry won't rule out 2020 White House run
CBSNEWS ^ | 08/31/18 | CBS News Staff

Posted on 08/31/2018 1:37:42 PM PDT by AngelesCrestHighway

Former Secretary of State John Kerry won't rule out a run for the White House in 2020, but talking about it now is just a distraction, he tells "Face the Nation" anchor Margaret Brennan. The interview will be featured September 2 on CBS' "Sunday Morning" and on "Face the Nation."

Kerry (whose new memoir is titled "Every Day Is Extra") also talks with Brennan about his role in politics today, the current political environment, his relationship with the late Sen. John McCain, and his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry.

Now in private life, the former Massachusetts senator and Secretary of State under President Obama has watched as much of his political legacy – including the Iran nuclear deal and the climate change accord – has been upended under the Trump administration. Disappointment in those actions has motivated Kerry to attempt to help Democrats regain political control.

Will he run for president in 2020?

"Talking about 2020 right now is a total distraction and waste of time," Kerry told Brennan. "What we need to do is focus on 2018. We need to win back the confidence of the country to move in a better direction, and to do it in sensible ways."

I so hope we get to see a D primary between Biden, Kerry, and Hillary. Throw in a few socialists and candidates to hit every “diversity” measure and the debates will be a hoot. And they probably won’t be able to select the winner before the debates like they did last time.

He will be running from a jail cell?

Or a casket assuming his treason conviction execution takes place by then?
