Actor Matthew McConaughey hinted at a possible future in politics while at recent event.
Actor Matthew McConaughey on Friday once again floated the idea of running for political office while speaking to legislators at the National Governors Association (NGA) in Salt Lake City, Utah.
McConaughey, known for his acting roles in an array of legal dramas and romantic comedies, has mulled the idea of entering politics in his home state of Texas several times, including speculation about running for governor of the Lone Star State in 2022. He has also been politically involved on the issue of gun control, having met with President Joe Biden after the mass shooting in his hometown of Uvalde, Texas, in 2022.
Despite much speculation, the actor has not formally stated his political affiliation, leaving many to wonder what party, if any, he would align with should he seek office.
The Associated Press (AP) reported that when McConaughey was asked by New Jersey’s Democratic Governor Phil Murphy about his political plans at the NGA summer conference, the star said, « I’m on a learning tour and have been for probably the last six years.
