The former Mayor meets with former President Barack Obama and neither will say what was discussed.
Andrew Gillum’s post city hall plans have some people seeing a presidential bid. The former Tallahassee Mayor and Democratic candidate for Florida governor was in Washington Tuesday and had a meeting with former President Barack Obama.
That led CNN to report that sources are speculating Gillum may be considering a challenge to President Donald J. Trump in 2020.
Neither the Obama nor Gillum camp would say what the two had discussed.
Gillum was in the nation's capital to speak at a Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. CNN reported he punted on the question of what the future may hold.
“I plan on being married to my wife,” said Gillum. “That is all I am planning.”
Obama had endorsed Gillum’s bid to be governor and campaigned with him in the closing days of the race. And although he narrowly lost to Trump-endorsed Ron DeSantis, Gillum became something of a national celebrity.
