Former Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman told Fox Business Network recently he's still undecided on who he'll back for president, with Republican Donald Trump still in the running.

Lieberman was former Vice President Al Gore's running mate in 2000, but became an independent in 2006 after losing the Democratic primary to another Democrat. He won as an independent, and endorsed Republican Sen. John McCain for president in 2008 over Democrat Barack Obama.

"I've been spending a lot of time with a group called 'No Labels,'" Lieberman told Fox Business' "Cavuto Coast to Coast."

"Jon Huntsman and I, former Republican governor of Utah, [are] really trying to do something that may seem naive or idealistic, but to sort of build the groundwork of people in both parties who after the war is over — the war [which] is this campaign — will be prepared to try to build a peace that will enable our government to get something done for the American people."

Huntsman endorsed Trump in May because "he has a unique opportunity to bring together constituents under the Republican banner," The Jewish Week noted.
