Does Kyle Rittenhouse have a political future?

[Woody]

With the following he has got, I believe he could carpetbag to whatever district and win the primary quite easily. I think if he has the desire, he would be set for life in politics.

[Vaccinated Russian Bear]

Hope not.

[Ferguson97]

He will possibly get a 2024 RNC speaking slot, but the novelty of his martyrdom will probably have faded from public memory by the time he's eligible to run for office. So unless he gets involved with the Wisconsin/Illinois GOP, then I doubt it.

Inshallah no

He is already eligible for state legislature

[DrScholl]

His future is in prison. I guarantee you that if he is acquitted he will eventually commit a crime he can't get out of and those whose supported him will pretend they don't know him.

[TiltsAreUnderrated]

Age requirements mean he won’t be able to get to Congress until his relevancy has faded. He’ll get to grift (if he so chooses) and an RNC slot, but he lacks the connections - and quite possibly the ambition - to go any further.

You have to be 25 to be in the House and 30 to run for the Senate. First you day he's an innocent child and now he's ready to President. Which one is it because he can't be both.

Members must be at least 25 when sworn in.

Wasn't Coleman 19 years old?

[ProudModerate2]

Doubt it. He is dumb-as-a-rock, but then again trump was elected.
Who knows.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

If he lives in a Trump district, yes.

He is in a state legislature. Rittenhouse could run for that, but it’s not likely to lead anywhere in 2028. Additionally, it may not pay well enough - some state house/senate roles are treated as part-time and reserved for the financially comfortable.

I imagine he won't have to worry about money in the near future, since I imagine a bunch of media outlets will want to have him on as a speaker.

[Joe Republic]

With today's GOP?  Of course.

I fully expect that over the next few years we'll see at least a handful of successfully elected congresscritters who proudly campaign on having entered the Capitol on 1/6.

For the party of law and order, they certainly do like to violently take the law into their own hands, don't they?

[Lief 🗽]

Of course, as long as he wants one.

Laws they like and orders they give to others. That's all it's ever been. (They used to be better at hiding it, but that's over now.)

[It’s so Joever]

If he wants one he has one.

[All Along The Watchtower]

Update: Yes.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

No, his lawyer said he gets death threats abd said he wants to be a Nurse, anyways the Prosecution pointed a gun in the Crt room that's a no no in Crt

There was only 1 blk person on jury

[THG]

I don’t think that he’s interested in politics. He’s also only 18 and has a long way in life to go, and I hope he succeeds in whatever he ventures in.

[Umengus]

I consider him like a hero so yes, he has a political future but now, he is too young.

[Inmate Trump]

For the average American traitor/Republican, sure, I would imagine he'd be very appealing.
