Governor Deval Patrick cracked the door on Sunday to a potential White House run after the 2016 election, using a governors’ conference in Washington DC to stir national buzz.

Asked in an interview with Politico whether he could see himself running for national office, Patrick, who has ruled out vying for the 2016 nomination, replied, “Maybe. Maybe.”

“That’s a decision I have to make along with my wife of 30 years and she’s a tough one to convince,” Patrick told the popular Beltway publication.
