Kim Kardashian Addresses Political Run Rumors: "We Have Time"

Kim Kardashian is finally addressing the question she says she hears constantly: will she run for political office? Her answer, in Jonathan Van Meter’s new book Citizen Kim, is refreshingly direct. She told him she needs to pass the bar and become a lawyer first, and only then would she even think about it.

There’s another big reason she’s pumping the brakes: Skims. Her shapewear and clothing brand is valued at around $5 billion, and she pointed out that running for office would conflict with owning and operating that business. Meanwhile, her friend and mentor Van Jones has his own prediction, saying she’ll eventually launch a law firm focused on pro bono criminal justice work and that higher office questions will come much later.

The takeaway? No campaign announcement, no timeline, just a very famous multi-hyphenate who says she has time. Citizen Kim is out now, and everyone will be reading the tea leaves on what comes next. What do you think — should Kim Kardashian run for office someday, or should she stay in her business and legal lane?
