New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu (D.) on Wednesday said he doubts he will run for president in 2020, but does not rule out a potential presidential bid.

Landrieu appeared on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" to talk about his newly released book, In the Shadow of Statues: A White Southerner Confronts History, but before the end of the interview, he was asked about speculation that he would be a viable presidential candidate in 2020.

"You've heard from people at the national party that you'd be a pretty good looking candidate to run for president someday. I suspect you won't make an announcement today, but do you have plans beyond your time in office?" co-host Willie Geist asked.
