Polis won’t rule out a 2028 presidential bid

“I’m focused on being governor of Colorado,” Polis said. Instead, Polis said he hopes to address Colorado’s affordable housing issue in the next three to four years.

Polis, a key surrogate for President Joe Biden, also defended the president’s age, policies and reelection campaign throughout his interview with POLITICO — even as
voters become increasingly concerned over Biden’s advanced age.

It’s not Polis’ first hint at a presidential run. During his state of the state address earlier this year,
Polis made a tease to a potential 2028 bid for the White House. “There’s been some buzz about what might be next for me as well,” Polis said.

But his answer earlier this year also sidestepped his future ambitions: Polis joked, “I’d like to announce that I will be trying out for the Colorado Rockies this spring.”
