CHARLESTON, S.C. — Even though he dropped out of the Republican race for president this year, Rick Perry has not given up hope of one day occupying the White House.
Speaking with reporters in the hotel lobby after the Texas governor announced his withdrawal from the race, Perry spokesman Ray Sullivan said the candidate is open to “doing this again in four years if the president wins.”
“Keep in mind that almost all our nominees in the last 50 years have been on their second attempt at the White House,” he said. “Republican voters tend to like experienced candidates that they’ve seen for a long time.”
