Howard Stern suggests he could run against Trump and 'beat his a--' in 2024

Famed radio host Howard Stern decided to jokingly (or perhaps not?) enter the presidential fray on Tuesday, telling listeners he just might launch a White House bid in 2024 should former President Donald Trump decide to do so, as well.

When told by co-host Robin Quivers that "if Trump decides to run again, you have to run against him," an amused Stern replied, "I know, I'll beat his a--." At the same time, the New York Daily News says, Stern "appeared to recognize his lack of qualifications to govern the country," having first answered, "Who the f--k am I?"

Stern then revealed he once told his wife that campaigning against a resurgent Trump may very well be his "civic duty," explaining he would just "sit there and play that f---ing clip of him trying to fix the election over and over again," a reference to Trump's January attempt to persuade Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) to "find" enough votes to overturn the election results. "There's no way I'd lose," Stern said.
