The current governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, is up for reelection in 2022 — so presumably, McConaughey would end up running next year, if he decides to do so.

And he just might! While appearing on The Hugh Hewitt Show last year, he also signaled that he might want to run for the position one day: “I don’t know. I mean, that wouldn’t be up to me. It would be up to the people more than it would me. ... Politics seems to be a broken business to me right now, and when politics redefines its purpose, I could be a hell of a lot more interested.”

I guess we'll just have to wait and see where this goes. Who knows!
