Aaron Sorkin, who created the political drama series that aired from 1999 to 2006, revealed after he visited the White House on Friday that he’s thinking about reviving the show.

Sorkin denies that “The West Wing” was intended to preach liberalism or any other political perspective. “The show doesn’t exist so that I can make a point about the census or anything else,” he said. “Writers have been telling stories about kings and palaces for centuries. This was another one.”
