Politico reports:
Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the outgoing White House press secretary, is seriously considering running for governor of Arkansas, according to three people who have spoken to her in recent days. While Sanders and her associates have been quietly talking about the possibility for months, sometimes in jest, she has shown renewed interest in the prospect as she’s started contemplating her post-White House plans, the people said.
Trump again publicly teased the prospect of Sanders’ running for governor on Tuesday night during his re-election kickoff rally in Orlando, Fla. “I have a feeling she’s going to be running for a certain gubernatorial position,” the president said before bringing Sanders onstage. It was her last trip with Trump as press secretary before she steps down at the end of the month.
