It's June 30th. Both Jim Webb and Peter King said they were going to decide this month, but no announcement on the horizon, as far as I can tell (except that the Webb people said that he was thinking about announcing last weekend…so is it imminent?).
King's presidential flirtation is especially weird. As far as I can tell, the last event he did in an early primary state was in NH back in April. If he's stopped doing those events, then you'd think that would be a sign that he'd be out. Yet a few weeks ago, he was saying not so fast, I haven't decided yet, but I'll decide this month.
So is he going to actually make an announcement at some point, even if just to announce that he's not running? Or will he just forget about it? And the media will forget to ask him about it, because he's comparatively low profile, and there are so many real candidates to keep track of that he's forgotten?
I feel like he'll at least say definitively he isn't running. I don't see it just kinda disappearing or dropping off the radar (more than he seemingly already has), if that makes any sense.
Regardless, all of the evidence points to him not running. At this point, it wouldn't make sense for King to run. He has said that his main reason for running would be to make sure guys like Paul or Cruz don't win the nomination, and I think he'd be in a better position to achieve that goal not as a candidate.
