McConaughey continued, “Look, right now, no, I don’t get politics… Politics seems to be a broken business. Politics needs to redefine its purpose. As I move forward in life, yes, am I gonna consider leadership roles where i can be most useful? I’d love to. I’m doing that, regardless. That’s where I sit right now.”
The next election for the Texas governor position, which is currently held by Greg Abbott, takes place in Nov. of 2022.
