The former US Ambassador to New Zealand is in no hurry to get back into politics, saying recent events have left him "disgusted".
Scott Brown was appointed by former Donald Trump in 2017. A former Senator, Brown endorsed the controversial former reality TV star in 2016 when his candidacy was still seen as a joke by many.
