Politico’s opinion piece sought to persuade readers that Jon Stewart should run for president in 2024. A magazine is promoting comedian Jon Stewart, best known as the former host of The Daily Show, as the next contender for president in 2024, which of course did not sit well with the majority of social media users.
In 2024, will Jon Stewart be a candidate for president?
The Politico op-ed piece, titled “If Tucker Runs in 2024, Here’s Who the Democrats Need,” made waves online after it proposed the notion of Jon Stewart running for the office of president in 2024. “Jon Stewart is a better fit than most politicians for what modern politics has become,” the article’s tagline declared. Speaking of the 2024 elections, former President Donald Trump, radio personality Howard Stern, and rap icon Kanye West had already made hints about seeking the prestigious position.
According to Jon Stewart, he is an entertainer

Politico’s opinion piece sought to persuade readers that Jon Stewart should run for president in 2024. To start off with the “seriousness” question. Stewart defines himself as an entertainer by debating the kinds of importance. Serious issues that real politicians are skilled at avoiding. He spends his time producing an AppleTV show. And podcast interview program on controversial themes including abortion, gun control, misinformation, modern monetary theory, and other wonky-current topics. Judd Apatow and Mark Cuban will occasionally make a visit for added glitz.
I like Jon Stewart. I think he's a genuinely good guy and tries to use his influence to help others, for the most part.

But we've got to stop throwing celebrities into the public policy arena just bc the masses think it would be a cool show.
That's how we got here.
Tweets from Jon Stewart
So he’s definitely engaged enough for the job, the op-ed said. The greater reason, though, is that he fits modern politics better than most politicians do. However, rejecting the notion, Jon summed up his thoughts on Twitter by writing, “Ummm…No thank you.” Fox News personality Tucker Carlson’s potential presidential run initially gave rise to the Jon Stewart conspiracy hypothesis. Then, he put an end to the rumors by declaring his lack of interest in seeking the presidency. The station has kindly given me permission to take some time off to be with my family in Texas, she informed her Facebook audience. Today, my dad is supposed to be discharged from the hospital and go home with hospice care. He requested yesterday to have his nasal feeding tube removed.
Can we please stop doing the thing where we’re like “oh, a politically savvy celebrity, THEY SHOULD RUN FOR PRESIDENT.” I like Jon Stewart, but he’s never held elected office & that *should* matter when we’re deciding who gets to lead the country. https://t.co/SaDV6Cd9qq

I'd max out donations and volunteer 8hrs/7days/however many weeks for that campaign! Sanity and integrity is EXACTLY what's missing in the current political environment.

Really… a newbie… someone who thinks in sound bytes… someone who has zero appeal further west than New Jersey… or further east than Pahrump Nevada.. yeah sounds logical to me..so that dart board filled with ‘what if’ ideas is now your brand of journalism?

Jon Stewart shouldn’t run for president but I do think a different guy my grandmother liked to watch on TV should (Mel Brooks)

I am a second-year journalism student from the school of Mass Communication at KIIT Deemed University, Bhubaneswar. Since I'm pursuing journalism, writing and getting published is my dream job. Due to the fact that my subject's studies are based entirely on my research work and sources, I am able to write informative articles. New writers are worried that the story has been told already, well, it has been, but not by you.
