Wrestler-turned-politician Jesse “The Body” Ventura says he’s considering taking on Donald Trump and Joe Biden for the presidency.
In a tweet posted Monday, the 68-year-old wrote, “OK, I’ve decided I’m going to test the waters. IF I were going to run for president, the GREEN party would be my first choice. I’ve endorsed the party and I’m testing the waters.” He added, “I’m not a Democrat or a Republican because I know they’re not the solution.”
Ventura, a Navy vet who served during Vietnam, worked as a bodyguard for the Rolling Stones before finding stardom in the wrestling ring in the 1970s and 1980s. After a stint as the mayor of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, he began a single term as the state’s governor in 1998.
