MADISON, WI---- Governor Scott Walker says he's looking forward to 2016. Today, the Governor also discussed his Presidential campaign.

Walker hasn't been very outspoken about his campaign since he suspended it, but now he says he's moving past that point and looking towards a possible third term as governor.

Governor Scott Walker says nothing has changed since suspending his campaign in September.

“There just wasn't a pathway to reach the nomination.”

Walker blames his drop out to the obsession over Donald Trump and not paying attention to the real issues.

“Nationally not the local media here in Wisconsin, but nationally the media was consumed with Donald Trump."

As for endorsing a candidate he says that won't come until at least the Wisconsin primary in April.

“We'll have to wait and see. We'll have to see how things shake out over the next few weeks."

Now Walker says is fixated on the state of Wisconsin he says he's considering a run for a third term in 2018.

He's got plenty of work to do if plans on making that decision. Walker's approval rating has dropped dramatically since suspending his campaign. His plan over the coming months is talking to voters.

“Crisscrossing the state from big cities to small towns and everywhere between figuring out new ways to listen to people across the state to hear what our shared hopes and aspirations are."

Governor Walker will deliver his state of the state speech on January 19th.
