John Kerry has said he will be sitting on the sidelines in the 2020 presidential race.
The former secretary of state, who lost the 2004 presidential election as Democratic nominee against George W. Bush, said in November he was “not taking anything off the table” in whether he would challenge President Trump.
Kerry, 75, has since made up his mind and suggested he’ll throw his support behind Joe Biden, 76.
“I was giving it thought at a time when Joe Biden hadn’t made up his mind, I wasn’t in a rush to have to get into the race then,” he told Sky News.
“I’m delighted he’s in the race as he and I are old friends. I’m hopeful that we’re going to wind up with a nominee who will resoundingly be able to help lead the country in a better direction. I’m not running. It’s not me, that’s for sure,” he said.
Twenty-two other Democrats have joined Biden in declaring their candidacy.
