And I’m still interested in being a unicorn.
In a wide-ranging podcast interview with one of his employees, CNN president Jeff Zucker revealed to The Axe Files host David Axelrod that he still wants to run for political office at some point.
“I still harbor somewhere in my gut that I’m still very interested in politics,” he said in the interview, published Monday.
Zucker said he’s “still interested” in running for office, adding, “It’s something I would consider.” (He also repeated twice during the 69-minute-long podcast that he’d love to run the Miami Dolphins football team in the future.)
“Gimme a call if you’re thinking about it,” said Axelrod, who helped run Barack Obama’s winning 2008 presidential campaign and later served in the White House.
Zucker was candid and forthcoming throughout the interview, though he chose his words carefully when asked about the accusations of sexual misconduct that led to Matt Lauer’s termination from the Today show last year.
