Famed conservative radio and television commentator Geraldo Rivera is exploring a run for U.S. Senate in Ohio as a Republican, telling cleveland.com/The Plain Dealer that he thought he could run a campaign outside the normal bounds of politics.
Rivera, 77, has been a staple on television and radio since the 1970s as both a correspondent and conservative political pundit. Rivera, who lives in Shaker Heights, tweeted Wednesday afternoon he was mulling running for Republican Sen. Rob Portman’s seat after Portman announced he would not seek re-election.
In an interview with cleveland.com/The Plain Dealer, Rivera said he was serious about the endeavor and planned on traveling the state on a listening tour in the coming weeks to solicit feedback about his potential candidacy. He said he and his wife, Erica Levy, a Democrat, would talk it over in the coming weeks as they decide....

They love RINOs almost as much as SC.
“Famed conservative radio and television commentator Geraldo Rivera”
Huh? When was he conservative? When he found Al Capone’s vault?
Yea right!!!!
Replenishing the swamp?
He’s old, he’s stupid, and he’s self absorbed. Yeah, Ohio would elect him.
I can even see his campaign slogan:
“Problems?”
“You Won’t Find Them With Geraldo!”
“I can’t stand him but at least I believe he loves the USA.”
*****************************************
Well he certainly loves Puerto Rico. He would be a sure “Republican” vote for Puerto Rican statehood. He’s a hard pass for me.
Rivera, 77..............................
I guess by media standards he is “right wing” compared to most.
But he’d be more of a “Romney” type Republican.
They loved Jerry Springer. Why not Jerry Rivers?
“I wish he would run in NJ instead. He would at least be an improvement over the senators there.”
A very good observation; and he would actually have a chance at winning in NJ.
He will run as a Republican?
How many different ways can you spell RINO?
When Geraldo and Bongino go one-on-one in the Fox News evening line up, I mute it because Geraldo is conspicuously to the Left of Bongino on almost every issue.
I just knew Tom Brady at his age winning the Superbowl would cause this kind of stuff..................
When will these old people understand we appreciate their experience, but just stay home. No one wants an old hippie running the country.
Please, for the love of God, be a mentor. But do not run for office.
As geraldo rivera or as jerry rivers. Will obxxx give him the same kudos he gave buttplug?
Good. He can suck up all the stupid vote out of the way.
He lives in Ohio. He has for years.
He operates a talk show. I cannot remember if he is in Columbus or Cleveland.
Senator Horrendo Revolver...who woulda thunk it?
Geraldo just retire and go play with your Mustache
I think there ought to be a minimum age for Congress of say 32, and a maximum age of perhaps 72. Too many young lack experience and too many oldsters hang on refusing to acknowledge their limitations..
