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."
Thanks for the pings/posts, LucyT. LOL.
Run John run. Only a couple of months away from the race to 2020 (after Nov mid-terms). This will be interesting...especially for political junkies.
Please, dear God, let it happen.

Too damned funny.
Nobody taught him to salute that way. His hands are unnaturally shaped to form big cups. Big hand cups, big silly heir floozy money.
Damn. His game seems easy.
He’s going to be fun AF to torment.
Good one, I just looked it up and saw that John F’n waited a couple of years before taking up with the widow Heinz. If he follows the same with the widow McCain, it will coincide with his 2020 run. Hmm.
“John Kerry won’t rule out 2020 White House run”
me neither ...
“Man. 2020 is going to be FUN!”
indeed. all the kommie Dem candidates will be trying to out-kommie each other by offering the most “free” stuff in the Dem debates and primaries, and for comic relief, maybe Jeff Flake, John Kasich, Bill Kristol or some new posthumous John McCain documentary movie will run against President Trump ... be sure to stock up on popcorn before the shelves run bare ...
Dayum, we’re slacking here, took 82 posts before the girl’s bicycle pic showed up.
Seared in his memory, don’tcha know?
Run, John! Run!
Your post reminded me of this ad that was run against him:
