to present something that is better, not just better than now, but it's got to be better than before.
The fact remains, a lot of these results have unfolded on, you know, kind of regardless of who's in power.
Are you going to run to be president in 2028?
I don't know.
I would have to believe, and this is how I've approached every time I've decided to run for office.
It's looking at everything that the office seems like it needs, not just generally, but in that moment.
And then looking at what I bring to the table and asking myself, okay, am I bringing something that's different enough from what others are bringing and that fits that moment?
That's what led me to run for mayor, which is a pretty unlikely move in South Bend, Indiana when I was in my 20s.
It's what led me to run for president when I did almost eight years ago now.
Yeah, I mean one of the reasons why you hesitate to talk in those terms is because you know people are going to run with it and it'll be this news of the day thing and it'll kind of dominate the next couple of days when you're trying to talk about something else.
Does the truth just not matter more though than the consequence of the truth in this regard?
Yeah, but the truth about what I'm maybe going to do, there's a level of not even being certain –
some of the things I'll have to weigh like before having made a decision like this before I can tell you that there's the read the inclination I'm obviously not to one end or the other yeah okay so you're not those two um I think I'm like more inclined than not okay I appreciate that um but there's so much we don't know there's so much I don't even know about what's going to happen this year let alone you know what we need to know later um
And this is not the weight of a decision like that.
And I don't just mean like the national political way, but just like the weight of a decision to run for office for you and your family.
which frankly I did not fully understand until I had kids.
That's changed all of my equations.
It's just something that you really sit with and take seriously, which you should.
I think what's going on is the president has painted himself and the country into a corner.
There is a moment where it seemed to him that he was better off politically if we were at war, even though he promised that we wouldn't be, even though a lot of his supporters didn't want the war.
