Jake & Logan Paul’s past statements on running for US President

Jake has publicly supported the current US President, but he hasn’t expressed much interest in running for office himself. His brother, Logan Paul, the WWE star, has hinted at the possibility of entering politics on several occasions, though.

Logan announced his intention to run for President in 2032, aiming to be in his mid-thirties at the time.

In a 2020 podcast interview, he stated his ambition to become President of the United States, confidently adding that he believed he would be a successful one.

I was really surprised when he reiterated his support for Jake, even telling the Wall Street Journal in 2023 that he was seriously considering him for Secretary of Defense! It’s wild to think about, but he clearly has a lot of faith in Jake’s abilities.

Logan recently stated he’d still like to run for office, but believes Jimmy Donaldson, known as MrBeast, would be a stronger candidate.

In 2025, he stated he would only consider running for president if he believed he could truly help the country. He acknowledged the job is incredibly demanding and that he’d need to feel it was the right move, even suggesting MrBeast might be a good candidate.

Jake Paul suggested it’s a toss-up whether he or someone else will end up running for President.

Back in 2021, he jokingly said they hadn’t decided who would run for President and who for Vice President, suggesting they might even flip a coin to decide. He described himself as the ‘villain’ and said his counterpart was more polished and well-liked.
