MrBeast reveals he wouldn't mind running for president as young voters look for fresh faces beyond Biden and Trump.
In a political climate that feels more like a choice between the lesser of two evils—or, as South Park famously put it, a vote between a "turd sandwich" and a "giant douche"—young Americans are desperate for a breath of fresh air.
MrBeast tweeted out a playful suggestion about running for president, if only they’d let younger folks throw their hats in the ring. This tweet got more than 500,000 likes pretty quickly, showing that a lot of people are really into this idea.
If we lower the age to run for president I'll jump in the race

MrBeast For President, What's The Problem?
Here’s the catch: You have to be 35 to run for president in the U.S., and MrBeast isn’t there yet. That rule has been around for a long time, and changing it isn’t easy. But the buzz his tweet created shows that young voters are craving someone new and different, someone who speaks their language and knows their world.
Joe Biden and Donald Trump are back at it, but their stories haven’t changed much. Biden has faced a lot of talk about his age, with some people worrying if he’s up for the job, while Trump continues to ride the waves of right-wing populism that have both invigorated and divided the nation. The last presidential debate speaks for itself...
@austinnasso The greatest debate in modern American history! A true symposium of luminaries.

As we get closer to the 2024 election, young Americans are kind of stuck watching this all play out. But the thought of someone like MrBeast running isn’t just a fun idea—it's a sign. It shows that younger voters want to see changes and are looking for leaders who really get them and can bring something new to the table.
While MrBeast isn’t a real candidate right now, the conversation around his tweet is a big hint for all politicians: young people want to be taken seriously, and they might just be the ones to watch if you want to win the next big election. Whether it’s by backing new candidates or pushing for leaders who are truly in touch with their generation, young voters are ready to make their voices heard. And who knows? Maybe by the time MrBeast is old enough to run, the political landscape will be ready for someone just like him.
