Condoleezza Rice, who served George W. Bush as national security adviser and then secretary of state, has zero interest in being Donald Trumps running mate, her chief of staff said Friday.
Dr. Rice has repeatedly said in past cycles as well as this one, shes not interested in being vice president, Georgia Godfrey told Yahoo News in a statement. Shes happy at Stanford and plans to stay.
Rice will also stay away from Cleveland, where Republicans are expected to anoint the volatile entrepreneur as their candidate. She does not plan to go to the convention, Godfrey said.
Since President Bush left office in January 2009, Draft Condi for (TBD elected office) speculation has never fully gone away. Shes the highest-profile African-American woman in the party and a former secretary of state who consistently rates well with voters. Various news outlets have recently fed that fire. In the past week, right-leaning Newsmax and Breitbart News each ran a story touting the possibility that Rice, now a professor of political science at Stanford University and fellow at its Hoover Institution, might run with Trump.
