Former WWE star Kane, real name Glenn Jacobs, has commented on the possibility of him running for US President in the future.

Jacobs was elected mayor of Knox County in August 2018 as a Republican. He was re-elected for a second term in 2022 Knox County mayoral election.

In an interview with Tyrus (fka WWE’s Brodus Clay) on Maintaining with Tyrus, Jacobs was asked whether running for President was something he had considered for the future, ahead of this year’s US election.

Noting that he has no desire to go to Washington, DC, Jacobs explained:

“No, it’s not. I have no desire to go to Washington, DC. I think that there’s a lot of things that can be done at the local and state level, especially at the state level. Say you look at Tennessee and Tennessee has really set itself apart from a lot of other states. We’ve been like second GDP growth for many years. We actually had positive growth through the pandemic. I think we’re the only state that did that. That’s a fact.

“But in Washington, man, it’s just, there’s just so many things going on up there, and it really is a swamp.

“Good people go in, and they get frustrated because they can’t change, or in some cases, they just throw up their hands and leave, or sometimes they, unfortunately, become part of the machine because that’s the only way to survive.

“So I really think that a lot of changes can be made, especially at the state level, which would be productive for where you live. Ultimately, then, that would be productive for the entire country.”

Glenn Jacobs has publicly supported Republican candidate Donald Trump on several occasions, with the duo exchanging praise at the beginning of the year.

Both Jacobs and Donald Trump are WWE Hall of Famers, with Trump entering the Hall of Fame Celebrity Wing in 2013, and Jacobs (as Kane) being part of the Class of 2021.
