Lame duck Republican Sen. Jeff Flake denied to CNN on Tuesday of having plans to run for president, but he didn’t rule anything out completely.

WATCH:

Jake Tapper asked, “Next month you’re speaking at a politics and eggs breakfast in New Hampshire. This was just announced, for those who don’t know. That breakfast is a traditional testing ground for politicians considering running for president. Do you have anything to tell us?”

“No. I received an invitation and I accepted it. So I look forward to speaking there,” Flake answered.

“Is it possible that you might run for president in 2020?”

“That’s not in my plans. I never rule anything out but that’s not in my plans right. I’m glad to be there in New Hampshire.”

Flake has been a consistent critic of President Trump. He has even drawn a parallel between the president and Josef Stalin. (RELATED: Jeff Flake Will Compare Trump To Josef Stalin In Upcoming Speech)
