Former U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar disclosed in his forthcoming memoir that he considered launching a presidential campaign in 2024 due to his frustration with the Biden administration's approach to border policy.

In his upcoming book "Borderlands: My Fight for an Inclusive America," Salazar wrote that he told himself "I should run for president," according to excerpts reported by Politico. The revelation provides insight into internal tensions within the Biden administration regarding immigration policy at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Salazar served as U.S. Ambassador to Mexico under President Biden, giving him direct involvement in bilateral relations and border issues between the two countries. His consideration of a presidential run represents a notable public break with the administration he served.

The memoir's disclosure comes as immigration and border security remain prominent political issues ahead of the 2024 election cycle. Salazar's position as ambassador would have provided him with detailed knowledge of cross-border dynamics and policy implementation.

The book is set to be published in the coming months, potentially offering additional details about Salazar's perspectives on U.S.-Mexico relations during his tenure in the Biden administration.
