Is the Insane Clown Posse Really Considering Running for President and VP from Michigan?
We're officially less than 2 weeks away from the 2024 Presidential Election (THANK GOD!) and the tension is building as to who will be our next President of These United States.
And while most people have it narrowed down to one of two serious candidates, there's a small corner of the U.S. that would actually consider a third nominee, and recently, he was asked about potentially running. So... what did Violent J of the Insane Clown Posse say about possibly running for President of the United States?
Juggalo Politics
Juggalos are everywhere in the U.S. At one time, they were listed in the country's database as a dangerous gang of individuals, but mostly, they just wear clown face paint, drink Faygo and scream "Whoop Whoop" at people.
But one thing they absolutely love is ICP. Recently, a correspondent with The Daily Show on Comedy Central went to a Gathering of the Juggalos to ask about ongoing politics in the country. When asked if they would be voting in the upcoming election, almost all of them said, "No," in one fashion or another.
However, that's not to say they weren't without opinions and views on the political environment right now, including topics like higher taxes for the rich, affordable healthcare, and abortion.
But when the prospect of voting for one of their own idols as President was brought up, almost all of them said they would.
"I'd say Shaggy as President, and then Violent J as Second in Command," one Juggalo answered. Of course, meaning they would put him as the Vice-President. However, another Juggalo said they actually agree with Violent J's mindset on a lot of political topics.

Would Violent J Consider Running for President?
SO, the correspondent set up an interview with Violent J, and straight up asked him, would he ever consider running for President?
His answer?
"F*** That. No. No amount of money. You gotta go places, they give you an itinerary, You gotta get up early and s**t."
But he wasn't without opinions on political matters, either, including immigration, and a woman's right to choose.
Then, as Violent J put it, the mushrooms kicked in, and the interview kind of just... ended. But now, at least, we have a definitive answer as to whether he would ever consider running officially. No.
That being said, there's always the write-in ballot option. WHOOP WHOOP!
