In late January, former Starbucks CEO Howard Schulz stirred up some headlines — and outrage — by announcing that he is considering running for president as a centrist independent, a move that sparked instant backlash from progressives who fear a Schultz run might end up getting Donald Trump re-elected. But since late April, Schultz and his talks of a presidential bid have gone largely quiet.
This week, the former CEO broke his relative silence and issued a letter to his supporters announcing that he was “reluctantly” compelled to take a “detour” from “considering running for president.”
