SEC Network and ESPN star Paul Finebaum is considering leaving TV and running for U.S. Senate after the Charlie Kirk assassination.
ESPN and SEC Network star Paul Finebaum is considering leaving his job as “the voice of the SEC” and running for a U.S. Senate seat in Alabama,made him rethink his priorities. If he does indeed run for U.
S. Senate he would do so as a Republican.The 70-year-old Finebaum hosted a show the day Kirk was shot and killed and discussed with Travis what that was like. “I spent four hours numb talking about things that didn’t matter to me. And it kept building throughout that weekend,” Finebaum said. “I felt very empty doing what I was doing that day. “It’s hard to describe, not being involved in politics, how that affected me and affected tens of millions of people all over this country. And it was an awakening.” According to Finebaum, he had never considered getting into politics until he heard from a couple of people in Washington, D.C. who asked if he would have any interest.“I was… hesitant at first because I was very aware of Bruce’s interest and huge fan of Bruce," Finebaum told Travis. “I didn’t take it too seriously. “I ended up talking to someone… who made it clear that there was a desire for me to be involved. And this person… was compelling and compassionate in the approach to me, and I started thinking about this.” Finebaum and his wife moved to Charlotte in 2013 before he started with the SEC Network but moved back to Alabama earlier this year, according to OutKick. He shared with Travis how quickly he would like to make a decision about a potential U.S. Senate run. “I’ve been made aware that the qualifying deadline is in January. That’s ideal. I’d love to get to the end of the season. I don’t know if that’s realistic. I would like to make this decision fairly soon, in the next 30 to 45 days,” he said.Youth football coach arrested, accused of pushing 7-year-old to the ground during gameSuper Bowl halftime show announced and fans are not happy: ‘Worst option possible’If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.and agree that your clicks, interactions, and personal information may be collected, recorded, and/or stored by us and social media and other third-party partners in accordance with our
