Wisconsin Gov . Scott Walker says he feels no pressure to run for president at 47 because a certain political rival of his is toying with the idea well into her 60s . `` I could run 20 years from now and still be about the same age as the former Secretary of State ( Hillary Clinton ) is right now , '' the Republican governor said in an interview Sunday with CNN affiliate WITI . Walker , who was recently re-elected for a second term , says he believes that the closer you get to running for president , the more you realize how crazy you have to be to actually do it . `` The closer you get to something like that the more you realize -- and I say this only half jokingly -- that you have to be crazy to want to be president , '' he said . `` And anyone who has seen pictures of this president or any of the former presidents can see the before and after . No matter how fit , no matter how young they are , they age pretty rapidly . '' Noting the toll a presidency takes on one 's health , Walker opened up about his bald spot becoming an issue on the campaign trail . `` One of the frustrations for my campaign staff is they felt -- for whatever reason -- my opponent largely faced little or no scrutiny about anything , so it was an interesting contrast when I talked about the bald spot on the back of my head , which has admittedly grown beyond just being the focal point of a story or two , '' Scott said . `` It was just one of those things where you raise your eyebrows and say , 'really ? ' But , you know , it is what it is . '' But despite his national presence and ongoing speculation about a 2016 presidential run , Walker says that he still feels compelled to serve out his term as governor . `` The only thing I think someone ... should run for president not because they want to be or yearn to be , but because they feel called to , '' he said . `` Right now , I still feel called to be the governor of the state of Wisconsin , and I 'm going to do the best job I can over the next four years . '' This is not the first time the potential 2016 candidate has taken a dig at Clinton 's age . Shortly after the latest midterm elections , Walker told Fox News that Clinton , who recently turned 67 , embodies `` old '' politics . `` I think the biggest loser ( in the midterms ) was Hillary Clinton , '' Walker said . `` She embodies Washington . She embodies that old , tired top-down approach from the government . I think in the states as governors , we offer a much better alternative , and I think there 's a number of us who would be good prospects out there . ''
Wisconsin 's governor says he has a lot of time to run for president , if he wants to . Walker noted that he could wait to run for 20 years and be same age as Hillary Clinton . He said his wife is also in her 60s Walker is often mentioned as a strong GOP contender for the 2016 race .
