Former Secretary of State John Kerry reiterated Sunday night that he is not considering a run for president this year, saying an NBC News analyst who overheard him talking about what it would take for him to enter the Democratic primary did not get the full story.
Kerry has endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden in the primary, campaigning with him in Iowa and New Hampshire. NBC News reports that Kerry was overheard in a Des Moines hotel saying he might enter the race due to concerns over "the possibility of Bernie Sanders taking down the Democratic Party — down whole."
