    MrBeast Reveals Presidential Ambitions, Calls for Lower Age Requirement

    MrBeast, whom many will know as the YouTube character behind the well-choreographed stunts and giveaways, has his eyes on the presidency. In an extended podcast interview with “Tiny Meat Gang” on October 5, 2022, Jimmy Donaldson aka Mrbeast said he was for making the path to citizenship more straightforward and other timely issues. He told point-blank that something needs to be done about them. On the question of interest he has in running for president, he didn’t mince a word. He simply said that if they ever reduce the legal age requirement to be president, he would “jump in the race.”

    Currently, the requirement in the U.S. Constitution is that a presidential candidate has to be at least 35 years old. MrBeast is 26. He told the podcast,

    “If they lower the age to run for president, I’ll jump in the race right now.”

    This shows that he believes that younger voices can make new contributions to the highest office in the land.

    The announcement post immediately fed the online frenzy as MrBeast posted it. More than 5.4 million views he got on the platform within hours of his declaration post. That did not stop there. He went to Twitter afterward, posting a poll asking his followers if they would like him to be president. More than a 2,005,403 votes were returned, with an overwhelmingly clear majority for his idea. This overwhelming support speaks much to the influence he pulls in the online community.

    Beyond the glamour of the presidency, what drives MrBeast to run is a consideration for the well-being of Americans. He does not want to be influenced by the pressure from lobbyists and other interests that happen to be out there in making decisions. He intends to amass a vast fortune, give it all away, and then declare his candidacy. By so doing, he says he cannot be bought, thus serving only the public interest.

    Reducing the age requirement for a presidential candidate is highly debated. On the other hand, it could bring brisk young energy and fresh ideas into the White House. Other younger candidates would tackle problems relevant to newer generations more easily. On the other side, some critics commented that experience and maturity are significant characteristics in a president that come with age.

    MrBeast’s declaration of presidential aspirations has undoubtedly been an eye-opener to the public and a subject of controversy. Although there may be doubt about whether or not the age limit can be reduced, his declaration has already set his followers thinking and visualizing it, not just that population but generally in public. It will be interesting to observe in the coming years: how he identifies consistent political ambitions against building his influence and bank account. Whatever the case, MrBeast’s boldness in joining the fray leaves a mark on the high-traffic discourse.
