Former President Bill Clinton Breaks Silence On George W. Bush's Potential 2024 Run
Speculation has been swirling about the possibility of former President George W. Bush running for president again in 2024. Now, another former president has weighed in on the matter: Bill Clinton.
Clinton's Comments
In an interview with CNN, Clinton said that he believes Bush would be a "formidable candidate" if he decided to run. He also said that he believes Bush is "very smart" and has a "deep understanding" of the world.
"I think he would be a formidable candidate," Clinton said. "He's very smart. He's got a deep understanding of the issues. He's got a lot of experience. He's got a lot of money. He's got a lot of supporters. So I think he would be a very, very formidable candidate."
Clinton's comments are significant because he is one of the few Democrats who has spoken out about the possibility of Bush running for president again. Clinton's comments also suggest that he believes Bush would be a strong candidate.
Bush's Response
Bush has not yet said whether he will run for president again in 2024. However, he has said that he is "keeping the door open" to the possibility.
"I'm keeping the door open," Bush said in an interview with Fox News. "I'm not saying I'm going to run. I'm not saying I'm not going to run. I'm just keeping the door open."
Bush's comments suggest that he is seriously considering running for president again. However, he is also likely waiting to see how the political landscape develops before making a decision.
