A single human being, Nassau County GOP chief Joe Mondello, has suggested that Congressman Peter King run for president, and by the bizarre laws of politics, King cannot just categorically reject the idea and say that, no, he’s not interested.

The Long Island GOP congressman’s county Republican leader, Joe Mondello, is pushing the idea — and King so far isn’t shying away.
King told POLITICO he’d be interested “if it takes off.”
But, he added, “I’m not going to campaign — I’m focused entirely on running for Congress. I’m not focused on Iowa, I’m not going to New Hampshire, I’m not going to Florida.”
