In the wake of media personalities making their method into US politics, one of the most famous streamers on the planet is eyeing up the presidency.
MrBeast has become one of the most famous streamers on Earth, with views in the millions for all his videos, and it seems like he wants to translate his popularity into a political career.
In a post on Twitter, the streamer, real name Jimmy Donaldson, expressed how he’d like to run for president – if the rules somehow change around the age requirements.
‘If we lower the age to run for president I’ll jump in the race,’ MrBeast wrote.
When a fan asked if he’d still make YouTube videos if he were president, he added: ‘I’d probably focus on running the largest economy on Earth.’
There are three core requirements to run for president in the US. You have to be a ‘natural-born citizen’ (someone who was born to American parents), a resident in the US for at least 14 years, and be at least 35 years-old, as outlined in the US Constitution.
At the time of writing, MrBeast is 26 years-old, so there’ll be nothing to cease him by the 12 months 2033.
While this tweet may seem to be a light-hearted musing, MrBeast has spoken about operating for president earlier than. Back in 2022 (by way of Business Insider), the streamer stated he would ‘in all probability’ run for president in his mid-40s.
At the time, throughout a podcast look, he stated his marketing campaign plan can be to provide away cash to show to voters that he ‘can’t be purchased’.
‘If I had actually zero {dollars} in my checking account and I used to be like ‘vote for me,’ I really feel like that’s a reasonably good marketing campaign factor, like, you’re voting for me,’ he stated.
‘I feel I might make it fascinating sufficient the place I might win,’ he added. ‘I understand how to get folks’s consideration.’
The thought of a YouTube character operating to change into US president doesn’t appear too absurd when you think about the historical past behind previous elected candidates, specifically actor Ronald Reagan and media character Donald Trump. Both of those, nevertheless, had some type of political profession earlier than operating for workplace.
Previously, MrBeast has been cautious to explain himself as ‘apolitical’, in order to not postpone any viewers. As such there’s no indication of whether or not he leans Republican or Democrat – or if he’d attempt to run as an impartial.
