Potential Democratic candidates Trump could face in 2020: Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Michael Avenatti (HAHAHA) and…John Kerry?
That’s right. He’s not ruling out another presidential run. During an interview with CBS News, Kerry was asked if he’d run in 2020, and he wouldn’t say no. He gave the most politician-y answer ever.
“I’m really not thinking about it,” Kerry said. “Talking about 2020 right now is a total distraction and waste of time. What we need to do is focus on 2018.”
“We are in a moment of crisis for our country. The world is in a moment of crisis,” he continued.
He didn’t say no, which means he’s giving it some thought. Just greaaaaaaaaaaaat.
“I think that’s the most important work we can do right now, is trying to elect people on a national basis and restore the leadership that the country needs,” Kerry added.
No matter what happens, Kerry pledged to…not go away like he should’ve years ago.
“I’m going to continue to be an activist,” he said. “I’m going to continue to fight.”
Trump heard that Kerry wouldn’t commit to NOT running, which sparked this tweet:
I see that John Kerry, the father of the now terminated Iran deal, is thinking of running for President. I should only be so lucky – although the field that is currently assembling looks really good – FOR ME!

“… the field that is currently assembling looks really good – FOR ME!”
He really knows how to tweak him, huh?
