Story highlights Former Fox News anchor says "who knows" if she'll run for office

Last summer, Carlson went public with sexual harassment allegations against Roger Ailes

Washington (CNN) Former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson declined Thursday to rule out a run for public office, telling CNN's Poppy Harlow and John Berman that her life "has worked in mysterious ways."

"I started as a classical violinist and was going to be a lawyer and I ended up in TV and never expected to be the face of sexual harassment, so my answer to that question is, who knows?" she said.

Berman replied, "Were you sitting in our chair, like you did for a long time, I think you would take that answer to be an announcement that you are running for something."

"No, not yet," she said.

She didn't provide further details about a potential run, including which ticket she'd run on. But Connecticut's Republican Party is looking for Carlson to run in 2018 to challenge Democratic incumbent Sen. Chris Murphy, The Connecticut Post reported in April. She noted that she's been asked to run for Senate but said "that's not in my timing right now."
