Scott Walker Says He'll Finish Out Term as Wisconsin Governor

In a conference call with donors Wednesday afternoon, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said he'll serve out his second term, won't take a cabinet appointment in Washington, D.C., and is still considering whether to run for a third term as governor in 2018. The Republican governor made the private call to thank some of the donors who contributed millions of dollars to back his short-lived campaign for president.

"I'm going to be governor for a little more than three years; I haven't made a decision whether to run for a third term," Walker told donors. "No matter what, I'm the governor. I don't plan on going anywhere."

Walker's campaign folded just 70 days after the governor officially entered the race for president, marking the third shortest presidential campaign since 1972 and the shortest of a top tier candidate in more than a generation, according to Smart Politics, the website of University of Minnesota political scientist Eric Ostermeier.
