Donald Trump Not Running For President
NEW YORK (AP) - Donald Trump says he's not running for president.
The reality TV star said in a statement Monday that he won't seek the Republican nomination.
WBZ's Jon Keller offered his take:
He made his announcement as NBC rolled out its fall lineup. The network is home to Trump's television show, "The Celebrity Apprentice."
Trump has been flirting with a presidential bid for months, traveling to early primary states like New Hampshire, and heckling President Barack Obama from afar.
He is the second Republican in a matter of days to say no to a White House run. Mike Huckabee announced Saturday that he wouldn't seek the presidency.
