Former Arkansas Gov.
Mike Huckabee, who mounted a strong bid for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008, says he’s still undecided about whether to run again next year. That’s what he told a group of about 40 House Republicans at a meeting in Washington,
Politico reports.
Rep. Billy Long, R-Mo., a freshman endorsed by Huckabee in his primary last year, was one of the congressmen present.
"He [Huckabee] said, 'people that have printed that they definitely know that I am not running do not know what they are talking about. And people who have printed that I am running do not know what they're talking about, because, quite frankly, I don't know,'" Long and another person at the gathering told Politico.
Long took Huckabee at his word. "I do not think he's holding his cards tight to his vest," Long said.
