Despite months of rumors that Hillary Clinton had been seeking his endorsement, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger announced Friday that he does not plan to endorse anyone in the 2016 presidential race.
In a joint statement provided to NBC News Producer Frank Thorp, Kissinger and former Labor Secretary George Schultz said they were staying above the political fray in the spirit of bipartisanship.
“We are not making any endorsement in the current presidential election,” the statement reads. “We are dedicated to fostering a bipartisan foreign policy, and we will devote ourselves to this effort now and after the election.”
