Hollywood actor Matthew McConaughey’s chances of running for Governor of Texas have been boosted by the news that a new poll favours him over the rest of the competitors.
Matthew McConaughey Leads The Polls For Governor Of Texas-
According to a poll conducted by the University of Texas and Dallas Morning News, the electorate would significantly favour him over the rest of the competition, which includes either current Republican Greg Abbott or potential Democrat candidate Beto O’Rourke.Â
This fits in line with the actor’s ambitions, as he has not ruled out making a bid to become the Governor, but in doing so, he refused to comment on whether he would run as a Republican or a Democrat.
Having said that, though, Matthew does believe that both parties have not done enough in order to convince the people that they should have the mandate for being the Governor of Texas.
During an interview with AFP, Mathew said: “You got to go ‘left’ sometimes, you got to go ‘right.’ There are people on the so-called right and the so-called left that are better people for the job at hand at different times.
“Look, it’s [running for Governor] been discussed. It’s a possible avenue.” Despite his enthusiasm, not everybody was convinced. The response on social media has been very mixed.
The primary reason why people are slightly hesitant against Matthew making a run is that they do not believe he has enough experience.
Therefore, a certain subset of locals simply do not want a celebrity in charge because it may signal that he is not there for the right reasons nor for the long run.
One person on Twitter wrote: “Literally no one fu—–g wants this. I don’t know anyone who wants this. Stop playing with people’s lives and let Beto (who has been doing the work and listening to people) run.”
Regardless of whether you think this is a good move or not, there is a high possibility that the people of Texas could turn towards him, given what the polls have shown so far.
And with that in mind, the run for Governor is certainly going to be a fascinating one. If you liked reading this article, then check out our other features on the Daily Soap Dish.
