Howard Schultz, the former Starbucks CEO, said he will not run for president as an independent, reassuring Democrats who feared he'd siphon votes from the eventual Democratic nominee.

Schultz, 66, has expressed dissatisfaction with the nation’s two-party system but said in an announcement early Sept. 6 he doesn’t think it would be fruitful to enter the race as a third-party.
