Wrestling and politics don’t seem to be a likely mix, but over the years there have been a number of wrestlers who have found success in the political world.
WWE Hall of Famer Jesse Ventura knows a thing or two about politics, as he was the Governor of Minnesota at one point in time.
In a few months Americans will be voting in the presidential election, but Ventura made it clear on Twitter that he has no intentions to run.
“Thank you but I haven’t filed to run, I’m just voicing my opinion on which party has earned my vote (and has earned it in the past).”

“I haven’t filed to run, but I’ve covered climate change many times on The World According to Jesse. Climate change is real. It isn’t a belief…it’s science. It’s a major reason why I vote GREEN party.”

Jesse Ventura also shared his thoughts on the upcoming election when he posted the following:
“I keep getting asked who I’m voting for, if I’m going to endorse anyone, if I’m going to run. Let me be clear: I have ZERO confidence in Democrats and Republicans. I refuse to vote for “the lesser of two evils” because in the end, that’s still choosing evil. That doesn’t mean I won’t be voting. If you want to know my “down ballot” it’s the Green Party. I’m voting Green all the way and if you’re looking to me for guidance, then do some research. Look into who is running GREEN in your state and VOTE THEM IN. You want change? VOTE. That’s the only way to get the pencil pushers, the chicken hawks, the draft dodgers with so called “bone spurs” OUT OF WASHINGTON in 2020”

I’m not voting for Dumb or Dumber. I’m voting for BETTER. Split the vote? That’s mainstream media’s hook. It translates to vote for who we tell you to because you can’t think for yourself. I’ve never been a lemming. Ain’t gonna start now. https://t.co/twLiwow3E1

My political views are more aligned with the Green Party than any other party, so for me it makes sense. https://t.co/WwwgThfNkv
