Centrist Rep. Don Bacon is done with Congress — but open to a potential presidential bid

Centrist Rep. Don Bacon, one of the most vulnerable Republicans in the House, said this week he doesn’t have the “hunger” for another grueling re-election campaign and won’t run for a sixth term next year.

But Bacon, who spent 30 years in the Air Force and specialized in intelligence matters, said he’s interested in serving in an executive role down the road, and wouldn’t rule out running for Nebraska governor, or even president in 2028.
