Nu har han dock beslutat att inte göra det, eftersom han inte vill bana väg för Donald Trump eller Ted Cruz. Han lät meddela:
"As the race stands now, with Republicans in charge of both Houses, there is a good chance that my candidacy could lead to the election of Donald Trump or Senator Ted Cruz. That is not a risk I can take in good conscience,"
"We cannot 'make America great again' by turning our backs on the values that made us the world’s greatest nation in the first place. I love our country too much to play a role in electing a candidate who would weaken our unity and darken our future -- and so I will not enter the race for president of the United States."
Med stor sannolikhet är Hillary Clinton djupt tacksam i det tysta.
