Supporters are calling for LeBron to run for US Senator in Ohio (Are you kidding me?)
[PopulistPress] Ohio Sen. Rob Portman’s (R) retirement announcement is sparking calls for basketball great Lebron James to take a shot at his seat.
Portman said Monday that he wouldn’t seek a third term in 2022, saying partisanship and the “increasingly polarized country” played a role in his decision.
Social media quickly began buzzing following Portman’s announcement, with many users voicing their support for the Los Angeles Laker player to become Sen. James.
Portman’s seat is expected to remain safe for Republicans, who've been tightening their grip on Ohio for the past decade. Potential GOP candidates for Portman's seat include: Congressman Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican Party Chairwoman Jane Timken, former state treasurer Josh Mandel and "Hillbilly Elegy" author J.D. Vance.
