Chris Murphy Dodges on If He’ll Run in 2020 for President

‘I don’t, frankly, think that I need to run for president in order to make a difference for my state or the country’

RADDATZ: "And — and I want to turn to the presidency. You previously said you were not considering a run for president in 2020 because you were focused on your own — own election in 2018, we’re obviously past that. I doubt you want to make an announcement here on the air this morning, but are you ruling it out?"
MURPHY: "Listen, I just got re-elected and I — I don’t, frankly, think that I need to run for president in order to make a difference for my state or the country. But I’ll say this, I think in 2020 we need a candidate who’s 100 percent authentic, who is tough and who can challenge this president on both domestic policy and foreign policy. And I’m simply going to make sure that we have a candidate that fits that bill."
