Garcetti Admits He’s Thinking About 2020 Bid

December 27, 2017 · 1:36 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“It’s no secret Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti is interested in running for president,” the Los Angeles Times reports.

“When reporters ask about his intentions, he has used all sorts of ways to deflect, typically by saying he’s focused on his day job — for the moment. But speaking in Spanish to a Univision reporter this week, Garcetti edged ever closer to the telltale admission he’s actually considering it.”

Said Garcetti: “I am thinking about this. The majority of time goes to my work as mayor of Los Angeles, but every [citizen] should think about what our role is in these difficult times, in these dangerous times.”
