WASHINGTON _ San Francisco billionaire Democratic donor Tom Steyer said Monday he's not going to run for Senate or the governor's office in California this year.
"I'm not going to run for office in 2018; that's not where I can make the greatest difference," Steyer said at a news conference he called in Washington. "My fight is not just in California, my fight is in removing Donald Trump from office and from power."
The former hedge fund manager said he will instead pour tens of millions of dollars into Democratic efforts to retake the House.
Steyer, who has repeatedly flirted with running for office in 2018, had recently said he was weighing a challenge against Sen. Dianne Feinstein as she seeks a fifth full term in the Senate.
Steyer has gained additional attention in recent months with a $20 million nationwide campaign urging Congress to impeach President Trump.
