NY Rep. King leaves door open for presidential bid
GARDEN CITY, N.Y. — Rep. Peter King, whose national profile has climbed as head of the U.S. House Homeland Security panel, is leaving the door open for a possible presidential bid.
The New York congressman, responding to a powerful hometown Republican's suggestion that he run for president, said he was taking a wait-and-see approach.
"Let's see what happens," King told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Wednesday. "This is something out of the blue. It is a great honor, but right now I am focused on getting re-elected to the House next year."
Joseph Mondello, the longtime chairman of the Nassau County Republican Committee — once considered among the most powerful GOP organizations in the country — drew widespread applause from 1,100 fellow Long Island Republicans at a dinner Tuesday night when he suggested King consider a "favorite son" candidacy.
