In a recent episode of the Houston Crime Stoppers podcast “The Balanced Voice”, McConaughey told host Rania Mankarious that running for governor is “a real consideration”.
“I am investigating now again, what is my leadership role?” he said. “Why do I think I have some things to teach and share, and what is my role? What is my category in the next chapter of life that I will enter?”
Texas Governor Greg Abbott is running for reelection next year.
In November, McConaughey was asked the same question on “The Hugh Hewitt Show” and said, “I don’t know. I mean, it wouldn’t depend on me. It would depend on people more than it would do me.”
“Look, politics seems to be a broken business for me now. And when the policy redefines its purpose, I could be much more interested, ”he added.
