Starbucks’ Schultz ‘100% Will Only Run If He Sees a Viable Path,’ Adviser Says

Schultz’s announcement that he’d consider a 2020 bid outside of either party drew a furious reaction from Democrats, who warned that he’d draw votes from the party’s eventual nominee and assure the re-election of President Donald Trump. There’s no chance he gets in this race if there isn’t a path," Bill Burton, a former aide to President Barack Obama who recently joined Schultz’s political team, said in an interview Tuesday. Burton said it may not be until "summer or fall" when Schultz makes a decision.
