I don't know what his short term political aspirations are but he's 23 and the minimum age to be a US representative is 25.

Gen Zers are running for office and this new PAC wants to back them : NPR

[Hogg] is launching Leaders We Deserve, a hybrid political action committee backing candidates under 35 years old running for federal office and under 30 years old running for state office.

Ninja edit: He's already talking and acting like a typical pol. He wasted my time with a deceptive tweet. It made me think his his PAC went live yesterday but it was created in August. I deleted the tweet and I put in the NPR link.

Just the name alone: "Leaders We Deserve" is sus. Whenever I hear generic platitudes like that my bullshit detector goes off. If it's a phrase I can imagine Mayo Pete saying, it ain't good.
