Jay Inslee Stays Mum On Whether He’ll Run For President
Washington Governor Jay Inslee is downplaying talk he might run for president in 2020. In an interview last week, Olympia correspondent Austin Jenkins asked Inslee if a bid for president was even in the realm of possibilities.
Inslee was coy.
“The same way I can imagine replacing Russell Wilson for the Seahawks, yes in those terms,” Inslee said.
Austin Jenkins pressed the Democrat to be more specific.
“So that doesn’t sound like a very likely, that you’re headed down the path to being a likely candidate for 2020,” Jenkins said.
“I really enjoy the job I have. It’s the best job in the world,” Inslee said of being Washington’s governor, now in his second term.
Jenkins asked about running for a third term to lead the Evergreen State.
“I would not preclude running for a third term,” he responded.
Inslee spoke on TVW’s “Inside Olympia” program. He’s been mentioned as a possible presidential candidate after emerging as a notable critic of President Donald Trump.
This year Inslee will serve as chair of the Democratic Governors Association, a position that will keep him in the national spotlight.
