Is MrBeast a Democrat or a Republican?
MrBeast might not be able to run for president this year, but that doesn’t rule out a future in politics. Is he a Democrat or Republican?
MrBeast, the YouTuber and philanthropist, has made a few public statements that allude to his interest in running for president. On July 6, 2024, Mr. Beast posted on X that if the “age to run for president” was lowered, he would “jump in the race.”
Currently, at 26, James Stephen “Jimmy” Donaldson, the legal name of the beloved video star, is a decade too young to qualify for the office, and a change to the constitution that would be required to make him eligible is highly unlikely to occur between now and November. That doesn’t mean it could happen in the next ten years, but such changes require 75 percent of states to agree, and mobilizing such a campaign would be an immense challenge. However, it could be just the type of challenge that Mr. Beast is up to.

Which party does Mr. Beast belong to?
Despite the possibility that MRBeast may not be able to run in November, many are speculating about his potential future in politics and which party he would choose to represent. In 2020, Mr. Beast did not endorse Joe Biden or Donald Trump, and he has not publicly hinted at aligning with either party. His content has increasingly focused on philanthropy and addressing areas where governments have fallen short. Through his videos, he sheds light on how governments sometimes neglect to provide assistance to their citizens, even when they have the means to do so.
