Cody Rhodes Courted by Both Republican and Democratic Parties for Political Role

Over the years, several wrestling stars have leveraged their fame to enter politics. Notable figures like Jesse Ventura and Glenn ‘Kane’ Jacobs have made successful transitions, and even The Rock has considered running for office.

If The Rock does decide to enter politics, he might find himself up against a familiar face: Cody Rhodes, who has shown interest in joining the political arena.

During a recent interview with Gabby LaSpisa, Rhodes was asked about the possibility of running for president. The WWE star revealed he’s been approached by both the Democratic and Republican parties.

“So it’s funny that it’s been kind of brought up a bunch lately, because as shocking as this might seem to people, both…we live in a society where it’s really like, you got your Democratic Party, you got your Republican Party.

So few get to fall in the moderate range anymore, even though so many of us have a moderate mindset. But I actually got approached by, I won’t say people directly, but I got approached by individuals from both parties about potentially running for an office in Georgia.”

While Rhodes didn’t disclose further details, he did confirm his interest in the idea. The Undisputed WWE Champion explained that using his fame to help people is very appealing.

“That’s probably as far as I can say, but it’s something that was really genuinely appealing. Here’s what’s appealing to me, politics is policy. Policy is one thing to me. But the idea that you can take your sphere of influence, whatever, this modicum of fame that wrestling and sports entertainment gave me to help people. Seems like the greatest gift.

Again, I don’t know if it’s something…. depending on how long I stay in this game. I don’t want to outstay my welcome, but that’s something that’s become very appealing, especially when presented to me, the possibilities that could come.”

Whether Cody decides to pursue a political career or continue his journey in wrestling, his passion for making a positive impact is clear. As fans eagerly await his upcoming match at SummerSlam, the possibility of seeing Rhodes on a political stage adds an exciting twist to his already remarkable career.
