Gov. Rick Perry, who
told a San Antonio audience that he’ll focus on Texas for the next 18 months
while he serves out his last term, told the Washington Times that he’s headed
to Israel in October
“We will be going to
Israel to bring together Arabs, Christian and Jews in an educational forum,”
Mr. Perry told The Washington Times in an interview just three days after he
announced he would not seek an unprecedented fourth term as Texas governor.
Many analysts interpreted
that decision as evidence that he is setting the table for a White House
campaign. Asked what would induce him to announce a run, he told The Times that
he has “plenty of time to make that decision.”
When Perry announced at
Holt Cat in San Antonio Monday that he wouldn’t seek re-election, he said:
“I am looking forward to
the next 18 months as I serve out my term. Any future considerations I will
announce in due time, and I will arrive at that decision appropriately. But my
focus will remain on Texas.”
