Speaking on NBC’s Meet the Press, the representative declined to commit to any specific future plans but left the door open to a White House bid when asked about speculation among supporters.
“I will not rule out anything, and right now I’m not going to rule in anything,” the representative told the moderator.
The comments came days after the representative lost a primary to a challenger in one of the more closely watched intraparty contests this cycle. The representative’s current term ends in January.
The representative said he plans to take time before deciding his next move and expects to “stay engaged in some way or shape,” possibly from outside elected office. ” “I’ve spent the last five days on my farm with my grandkids, and my cattle, and my peach trees, and it’s a pretty nice life,” the representative said.
” “I’ll take some time and decide what’s next,” the representative added.
