Jon Stewart Fans React After He Opens Up About Running for President

The Daily Show‘s Jon Stewart is opening up about calls for him to run for U.S. president. The late night star said that while it is “very kind” that people want to see him in the White House, he believes the desire comes from a feeling of “desperation” and “dissatisfaction.” Now fans are reacting to his comments, and believe he would be a great candidate in 2028. In the latest edition of After The Cut, the Daily Show‘s behind-the-scenes web series, an audience member asked Stewart if he’d ever consider running for political office. The suggestion was met with huge cheers and applause from the studio audience.
