Lame duck Republican Sen. Jeff Flake denied to CNN on Tuesday of having plans to run for president, but he didn’t rule anything out completely.

Jake Tapper asked, “Next month you’re speaking at a politics and eggs breakfast in New Hampshire. This was just announced, for those who don’t know. That breakfast is a traditional testing ground for politicians considering running for president. Do you have anything to tell us?”
“No. I received an invitation and I accepted it. So I look forward to speaking there,” Flake answered.
“Is it possible that you might run for president in 2020?”
“That’s not in my plans. I never rule anything out but that’s not in my plans right. I’m glad to be there in New Hampshire.”
Flake has been a consistent critic of President Trump. He has even drawn a parallel between the president and Josef Stalin. (RELATED: Jeff Flake Will Compare Trump To Josef Stalin In Upcoming Speech)
