(WWJ) -- The suspense surrounding this topic has been a big part of the local political conversation as of late.
Will James Craig -- the former Detroit Chief of Police -- enter the Michigan gubernatorial race against Governor Gretchen Whitmer?
While he didn't directly answer that question, Craig told Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Wednesday night that he would return to the show next week to make a big announcement.
“I hope we can do this again next week, because guess what? I have an important announcement for Michigan’s future right here, and I promised you I’m gonna do it on your show,” Craig told Carlson.
That, of course, piqued the Fox News host’s interest.
“That state badly needs to leadership,” Carlson said. “If it’s your [announcement] for governor, we’ll very excited and so will the desperate but hopeful citizens of Michigan.”
Craig, a Detroit native, stepped down from the Detroit Police Department at the end of last month after eight years as chief.
