Gov. John Hickenlooper has long drawn speculation as a potential contender for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D) said Wednesday that he is "leaning strongly" toward a White House bid, marking his latest indication that he could run for president.

"I'm the governor of Colorado and I'm gonna run for president," Hickenlooper said during a stop in New Hampshire, where he's campaigning for down-ballot Democrats.

He quickly added that he hasn't "made a final decision" and that he's "leaning strongly" toward a White House run, but said "if I say I'm absolutely doing it then there are all kinds of legal ramifications."
