12 march 2026 в 17:37
Jake Paul received «full support» from Donald Trump in case he decides to run for office, but will that really happen? Some believe so, after the 79-year-old Republican spoke highly of the 29-year-old professional boxer at a rally in Kentucky on March 11, 2026.
«What Mr. Trump taught me is courage», - Paul told the crowd. «We never back down from a fight, even if the opponent is much bigger than us. I feel that all the locals in Kentucky think the same way. You have that fighting spirit. You have that style».
Here’s what we know about Paul’s past and his potential future in politics.
Yes, it’s no secret that Paul is a Republican and an outspoken supporter of Trump. He endorsed the president during his 2024 campaign in a YouTube video, urging his followers to «do their own research» on voting and comparing Trump to the Founding Fathers.
«Trump is called a 'criminal,' but remember that the founders of this country were also considered criminals in Britain because they demanded change», - Paul said in the video. «History shows that sometimes those who challenge the system are the ones who bring about change».
The boxer also noted that he is not concerned about Donald Trump’s «character flaws» or his past actions.
«I'm interested in how good he is as a president because that’s his job and that’s what will impact the people in this country», - Paul added.
As of now, no, but Trump predicted that Paul would eventually run for political office.
«I predict that in the near future, you will be running for political office», - Trump said at the rally in Kentucky on March 11, 2026. «You have my full and absolute support», - the president added.
Paul has not expressed a clear desire to run for any political position, but Trump’s informal support has sparked speculation about the boxer’s future
