Former US secretary of state Mike Pompeo has said he would not seek to run for president in 2024.
" Susan and I have concluded, after much consideration and prayer, that I will not present myself as a candidate to become President of the United States in the 2024 election," Pompeo wrote on Twitter.The former soldier and CIA director hinted, however, at a potential future bid for the presidency.
Seen as brusque in public and curt with the media, Pompeo vowed to give the US State Department back its"swagger" after being appointed its secretary by then-president Donald Trump. Despite his elite education at West Point and Harvard Law, Pompeo emerged from obscurity as a businessman in Kansas when he was elected to Congress in the right-wing Tea Party wave of 2010.
