MSNBC’s Ed Schultz said tonight on “The Ed Show” he is “a long way from any kind of decision” on whether to make a bid for the U.S. Senate as a Democrat.
“I can’t say I’m even considering it right now,” Schultz said. “I’m in a different place than politics right now.”
His show is less than a year old, and Schultz said “to go from Fargo to 30 Rock is a dream come true for any broadcaster.”
Earlier today, Schultz revealed that North Dakota Democrats asked him to throw his hat in the ring, and a top contender opted not to run.
Tonight Schultz didn’t rule it out, noting that no one has officially announced for the seat and that the race would be “intriguing.”
“I plan on living a long time,” he said.
Schultz, the subject of a new draft movement, said he wanted fans to hear it from “Your friend, big Eddy.”
Schultz previewed the issue several times during the show, during which he also asked Dorgan to stay in the senate.
