Sorry, but you won’t be getting a President Al Franken in 2020
"Yeah, I'm not going to do that."

Despite all the buzz, it looks like the Minnesota senator, and “Saturday Night Live” alum, will not be running for President in the next election. Sorry about that.
Al Franken, says he’s “flattered” by the amount of people pushing for him to run, but he has no plans to do so.“Yeah, I’m not going to do that,” he told People Magazine in an interview released earlier today connected to his upcoming book release. His family seems to be just as against it as he is.
“It’s not going to happen,” his daughter said.
His wife Franni added a firm “no,” though she considers it a sign of his success as a politician and liberal advocate. “It’s very flattering, really,” she said. “It’s kind of an affirmation that Al did exactly what he said he would do, be a work horse and not a show horse.”
