Former U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar says he considered running for president in 2024, citing frustration with how the Biden administration handles the southern border with Mexico. In excerpts and reporting tied to his forthcoming memoir, Salazar describes telling himself, “I should run for president,” and frames the idea as a response to his concerns about immigration policy. The reports associate his renewed consideration with the period following the 2024 debate cycle, though specific policy details and dates are not uniformly provided. The new account also includes Salazar’s criticism of the administration’s approach, and at least one outlet reports that he is critical of Vice President Kamala Harris in the book. The sources agree that Salazar is set to publish the memoir “Borderlands: My Fight for an Inclusive America” and that the book contains his reflections on whether he should have sought the presidency himself. Neither outlet indicates that Salazar formally launched a campaign or took steps beyond discussing the possibility in the context of his memoir.
