Pompeo, 59, said he and his wife Susan made the decision “after much consideration and prayer.”<\/p>\n

Pompeo served under former President Donald Trump as director of the Central Intelligence Agency from 2017 to 2018 and as secretary of state from 2018 to 2021. He was considered a potential Republican candidate for president as the 2024 election shapes up.<\/p>\n

Republicans who have thrown their hat into the ring include Trump, Nikki Haley, who served as a U.S. ambassador to the U.N. in the Trump administration, and Asa Hutchinson, the former governor of Arkansas.<\/p>\n

Among Democrats, Marianne Williamson and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have announced bids for the White House.<\/p>\n

President Joe Biden has repeatedly said he intends to run for reelection in 2024 barring some major issues such as his health. However, the Democrat has not officially announced a decision.<\/p>\n

Biden told reporters Friday that he plans to announce his plans “relatively soon.”<\/p>\n

“I’ve already made that calculus,” Biden said on the tarmac as he departed Knock, Ireland, when asked whether his trip<\/a> to the country has changed or influenced his plans on seeking re-election. “But the trip here just reinforced my sense of optimism about what can be done.”<\/p>\n

When pressed on the decision, Biden added, “I told you my plan is to run again.”<\/p>\n

In January, Pompeo told<\/a> CBS News<\/a> he was considering a 2024 run for president but was still undecided on whether to throw his hat in the ring.<\/p>\n

The former Kansas congressman also announced his decision not to run during an appearance on Fox News<\/a> Friday evening.<\/p>\n

“While we care deeply about America, and the issues that I’ve been talking about this last year and a half, and frankly for decades, matter an awful lot, this isn’t our moment,” he said about himself and his wife.<\/p>\n

Pompeo hinted at potential future bids for president in his statement Friday.<\/p>\n

“To those of you this announcement disapp<\/a>oints, my apologies,” Pompeo said. “And to those of you this thrills, know that I’m 59 years-old. There remain many more opportunities for which the timing might be more fitting as presidential leadership becomes even more necessary.”<\/p>\n
