Rice Says Politics Isn’t In Her DNA

March 2, 2013 · 8:25 am ET · Leave a Comment

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said again that she currently has no plans to run for president in 2016, The Hill reports.

Said Rice: “I learned that running for office really wasn’t in my DNA when I helped George W. Bush run in 1999. We’d go to maybe five campaign events in a day..and at the end of the day, he was raring to go and I was raring to go to bed. And I thought, ‘Maybe this just isn’t for me.”

She added: “But I do miss the people that I worked with in Washington. I don’t miss anything else about being in Washington.”
