While on Stern’s radio show this morning, Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura, asked the America’s Got Talent judge if he would consider being his running mate in the 2016 US Presidential election.
Stern replied calmly, “I usually don’t play second fiddle, but in this case, I might.”
Ventura, who is toying with the idea of running as an independent in 2016, didn’t hide his enthusiasm about having someone who carries the weight, and the cache of Stern, the world’s best known radio personality.
“With my new gig on America’s Got Talent, I’ve got mass appeal now. The people will vote for me," said Stern.
Ventura first entered politics in 1991 as Mayor of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. He then ran for Governor of Minnesota under the Reform Party, winning the race in 1998 and serving from January 4, 1999 to January 6, 2003. Ventura declined to run for a second term due to health concerns for his wife.
“Look at my political history. I only do one term. I did one term as mayor, one term as governor. You could end up being President,” said Ventura.
