Indiana Gov. Mike Braun (R) sought to tamp down a report that he is interested in running for president, in remarks to reporters Thursday.
“That’s had nothing to do with anything I’ve said,” Braun told the Indiana Capital Chronicle, a nonprofit news site covering state government, in response to a question about a potential presidential run. “I’m concentrating on being governor, and have no interest in that.”
Politico reported in early June that Braun had discussed the idea of mounting his own presidential campaign, citing three unnamed Republicans close to the governor.
Braun previously served as a U.S. senator for one term, and in Indiana’s statehouse from 2014 to 2017.
He maintained that his focus was on the governorship, the Indiana Capital Chronicle reported.
“I’m focused on being the most entrepreneurial governor we’ve got in this country,” Braun told the outlet. “We’ve been doing things bolder than what most states would do and going after tough issues like health care, education, workforce.”
Braun recently appeared at an event with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., that announced that Arkansas, Idaho and Utah would no longer permit soda and candy to be purchased with food stamps.
As governor, he has also issued a number of executive orders, ranging from declaring there are only two genders to prohibiting collective bargaining among state employees.
