Jesse Ventura endorses and joins Minnesota's Green Party. [edited since first posted].

Link.

Were he to run a Presidential campaign, as he alludes to, might he gain enough dissatisfied Trump voters to qualify the Green Party as a national party for the next ballot cycle?

Ventura could be a swing candidate stowing Schumer's middle of the road solicitation of those same former Trump voters, with Schumer's choice to chase that bloc while casting disdain toward progressives possibly backfiring. "Safe" Joe and all that; flushed. Where Bernie would have won.

Nothing is cast yet into an irrevocable posture, for Ventura, but his positioning now lessens the unyielding boredom of Trump-Biden mediocrity. Venal is a word coming to mind.

I believe Ventura is more a progressive than Biden, but that is such a low bar it's a joke.

AND - Better Jesse than Bloomberg. More energy. More personality. Less wealth. Equal chutzpah. Taller. A touch less aloof.
