Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Friday he will not run for president in 2024.
"This isn't our moment," Pompeo told Fox News'"Special Report with Bret Baier," referring to the decision he had made with his wife."This isn't the time for us to seek elected office." have already entered the race, including Pompeo's former boss, former President Donald Trump. A RealClearPolitics average of polls among declared and potential 2024 Republican candidates shows Trump with a double-digit lead.
"This race, I hope, isn't about people. I hope it's about these ideas," he said, mentioning the deficit and military."We were thinking about, can we impact them? Is this the right time for us to go seek the presidency, to go try and work on these? We just simply came to the conclusion this wasn't the moment for us." "As for the primary, we'll see how it plays out," he said.
While promoting his book earlier this year, he said Trump's decision to seek the White House would not have an impact on his own decision. His book was widely viewed as a springboard for a 2024 presidential run. "To those of you this announcement disappoints, my apologies," he said in a statement." And to those of you this thrills, know that I'm 59 years old.
