Jerry Springer will not run for governor of Ohio in 2018, he announced Thursday on his podcast.
“It’s not something as a husband and a father and a grandfather that I can do at this point,” the TV host and former Democratic Cincinnati mayor told Jene Galvin, his friend and podcast co-host.
Springer said that he came to the decision after Thanksgiving dinner with his family.
They love me, so they say you’ve got to do what you want to do,” he said. “Well, no. I’ve got to do what I know deep in their hearts they want and what could make their life better.”
