Could Boris Johnson run for president? ‘I don’t rule it out’
The 2024 race for the White House is on. Donald Trump is in, Nikki Haley is getting ready, Joe Biden is preparing to fend off intra-party foes – and now, Steerpike has learned of another possible entrant: former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
One of Steerpike’s Spectator colleagues in America caught up with the ex-PM at the Capitol Hill Club in Washington, DC. When asked if he wanted to move from 10 Downing Street to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Johnson told the Cockburn gossip column: ‘I don’t rule it out.’
Johnson, who is visiting the US to push for additional aid to Ukraine, did not specify whether he would run as a Republican or Democrat. He did bump into Cockburn at a famous Republican haunt, but the cause he’s championing is one supported by members of both parties.
...
It remains to be seen how possible – or serious – Johnson’s presidential aspirations are. The former Spectator editor renounced his American citizenship in 2016, in part to ‘ensure he is out of reach of America’s Internal Revenue Service,’ the Guardian reported. He was, however, born in New York City and so might be able to reapply.

The liberals are looking for their next usurper in the W.H.
For those looking for some reading material.
Why not George Soros?
He would not be worse than either Joe or Kamala.......(and I’m not a Boris fan....)
we stopped following the Constitution in 2008 so why not...

President where, here???
I guess he must be a Dual Citizen, but he wouldn’t dare.
The majority of Americans would never accept him.
Boris is very British in his thoughts and in his manner.
I’m still expecting him to run again for Prime Minister in England. He must still be undecided after the shock of being thrown out not too long ago.
Good point.
If future presidential elections are as crooked as the one in 2020, anything can happen.
Johnson would get his ass kicked in a Republican Primary.
Johnson would get his ass kicked in a democrat primary.
Johnson would get his ass kicked as an Independent.
Johnson has no future in American politics, he should stick to British politics where he got his last ass kicking.
Gags me.
Yes, here:
"When asked if he wanted to move from 10 Downing Street to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Johnson told the Cockburn gossip column: ‘I don’t rule it out.’"
I guess he must be a Dual Citizen
At this point, he's not even a dual citizen:
"...renounced his American citizenship in 2016"
The shock is made so much worse when you, Boris, realize that you may have to get a real job.
He seems to be flailing around looking for another do nothing all talk authoritarian position.
Since 2008 (with the, just barely, exception of 2016), it's becoming increasing clear that there is a massive, and every growing dumbed down ignorant "gimme dats" population.
This country is "voting" it's way into oblivion, including at the corrupted state level in so many places.
Ugly and has a bad haircut. No way Boris gets the white, suburban soccer mom vote. His teeth aren’t bad for a Brit so he’s got that going for him.
Stories like this are trash.
He was replaced by another WEF stooge.
And just who would vote for Boris for president we already know we made a lousy Prime Minister. Do we want him as president here?
Wonder how many pints he had before letting that opinion loose? My guess: too many.
I wouldn’t be so certain
***********
I’m certain that Boris Johnson has no path to become President.
The headline says He could run for President, which I doubt will happen, but would be entertaining if it did.
