Former New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern was asked by Robert Costa if she’ll ever return to politics:
ARDERN: No, I think if you make the decision to leave, then you’ve made the decision to leave.
COSTA: Never say never.
ARDERN: In this case, say never. I think also, for me, I have such great faith in all the people that I worked with and was lucky enough to work with. They’re wonderful. They’re doing a great job, and they don’t need me.
