Former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., is mulling over running for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024.
Rogers told Fox News that he was considering taking a shot at the White House.
What we have to do is decide are people are ready for a hopeful, optimist, solutions-oriented candidate,” Rogers told Fox News, adding that he will make a decision by the end of spring or the start of summer.
