Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) continues to hedge on the 2020 question, describing to CNN’s John Berman the ideal Democratic candidate—which sounds an awful lot like herself—but kicking the can down the road, saying she would make a decision “shortly.”
“[It’s about] who captures our imagination and will have ideas to bring us forward on a positive optimistic agenda for the country,” she said of the ideal candidate on Tuesday. “It is not about spending your day going down the rabbit holes with Donald Trump. It is also about talking about things that matter to people and being willing to reach out to people to find common ground…and that’s what I’ve done in the last election.”
“One of the great things this year is there will be a lot of competition,” she continued. “People should view it as a chance to sit back and think about the America that we want to be. For me, I come from the heartland. We need to get that back into our politics.”
“I will be making a decision shortly,” she concluded.
