Jerry Springer Politics

Springer won’t run for governor of Ohio in 2018, he proclaimed on his podcast. “It’s not something as a husband and a father and a grandfather that I can do at this point,” He told the Jene Galvin, his friend and podcast co-host. Springer said that he came to the decision after Thanksgiving dinner with his family.

“They love me, so they say you’ve got to do what you want to do,” he said. “Well, no. I’ve got to do what I know deep in their hearts they want and what could make their life better.”

He as well noted that if he were elected, he would take office just a month before his 75th birthday, and wasn’t prepared for the five-year commitment of campaigning and governing. In May, Business Insider, citing more than half a dozen Democrats familiar with the race, reported that influential Ohio Democrats including former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland and Hamilton County Democratic Party Chairman Tim Burke were pushing him to run.

He told CNN in August he hadn’t made a decision yet. Springer, 73, previously considered running for US Senate in 2000 and 2004 but decided against it. In 1982, he ran for governor of Ohio but was defeated in the Democratic primary.

He previously attributed the rumors around his potential bid for governor to former reality TV star Donald Trump’s successful White House run. “I could be Trump without the racism,” he told the Cincinnati Enquirer in February.

Jerry Springer Quotes

• We are all born as empty vessels which can be shaped by moral values.
• With a face like mine, I do better in print.
• I’m liberal, but I watch the three majors. Obviously, I watch MSNBC, also CNN and Fox, which is what I would call ridiculously to the right.
• There’s something about the openness of the American people. Yes, we have our faults, but deep down, there’s goodness. America doesn’t want to take over the world; in many ways, we don’t want to be bothered by the rest of the world.
• I’m a happy guy, but if I’m in a rare dark mood, I won’t go out because I don’t want to be horrible to people.
• My guess is more reporters probably vote Democrat than Republican – just because I think reporters are smart.
  I’m always playing a role, whether it’s the role of the mayor, the role of a news anchor, or a role of a crazy talk-show host. But there was a specific function. ‘On Dancing With The Stars’, I had nothing to do but be me, schlepping
• around the floor. And when I host ‘America’s Got Talent’, that’s really me just talking to regular folks.
