Former Florida gubernatorial candidate James Fishback said he plans to run for president in 2028, according to The Hill. The Republican announced the bid on Wednesday on the social platform X, where he attached a video of himself making the announcement, the outlet reported.
In his post, Fishback wrote that someone had asked him what he planned to do next, and that he had told them the truth: “I’m running for president,” according to The Hill.
The Hill’s headline describes Fishback as a failed gubernatorial candidate. The report does not say when the Florida race took place or give further detail on its outcome.
According to The Hill, the report’s text ends while it is describing the video, so additional details about the campaign, its organization, or reactions from other political figures were not included. The Hill’s report is the only source reviewed for this article.
The Hill published the report under the byline of Suryatapa Chakraborty.
