Former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., is mulling over running for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024.

Rogers told Fox News that he was considering taking a shot at the White House.

What we have to do is decide are people are ready for a hopeful, optimist, solutions-oriented candidate,” Rogers told Fox News, adding that he will make a decision by the end of spring or the start of summer.

First elected to Congress in 2000, Rogers rose through the ranks to lead the U.S. House Intelligence Committee. He served seven terms and did not seek reelection in 2014.
