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."
“But, but...but...I have a plan!”
Trump will completely destroy Kerry he will quit half way through the debate.
See Jon Carry run. Run, Jon Carry, run.
Please. Oh please. Trump will have an epic field day with the likes of you, one for the ages even better than Low Energy Jeb.
Mental illness. If he were the last man on earth, he couldn’t get elected.
Go for it, John. Hillary too. Al Gore should throw his hat into the ring as well.
Oh goodie, goodie. Another doddering liberal spouting off.
