Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee said on Sunday that he is considering another run for president in 2016 and will make a final decision after the 2014 elections, UPI reported.
Huckabee, 58, made the comment on "Fox News Sunday" when asked about the possibility, saying "at this point, it is 50/50...I'll just keep that option open and make a decision after the 2014 election."
"It would be, frankly, dishonest to say no," Huckabee said.
Aside from his presidential aspirations, the former 2008 presidential candidate discussed additional topics like the Affordable Care Act.
"It's not working very well, especially for people who had insurance and who would like what they had. They were promised they could keep it. We now know that was not true," Huckabee said.
He added President Barack Obama is "holder of the 'Lie of the Year' from PolitiFact," a newspaper fact-checking service, and said "the priority (of the Affordable Care Act) should have been to deal with the 15 percent of people who didn't have insurance, rather than disrupt the system for the 85 percent who did and were largely satisfied."
Huckabee also took the time to discuss the controversy surrounding Phil Robertson, star of A&E's "Duck Dynasty" show, who made controversial statements about gay people in a magazine interview.
"I think it has come to a point in our culture where political correctness has made it so if you want to take a point of view, it is traditional. it holds to steadfast old fashioned biblical principals, that you're supposed to just shut up and keep that to yourself."
Robertston faced several backlash after the interview in GQ was published, where he said "Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men. Don't be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanders, the swindlers - they won't inherit the kingdom of God. Don't deceive yourself. It's not right."
Following the firestorm that erupted, A&E decided to indefinitely suspend Robertson from the show.
