Former Fox News host and current conservative TV talk show speaker Eric Bolling is in preliminary discussions about running for the U.S. House of Representatives.
Bolling is reportedly considering waging a primary against GOP Rep. Tom Rice, who voted for then-President Donald Trump’s impeachment, or another Republican representative, Nancy Mace.
Bolling now lives in South Carolina, so he is considering running against either Rice or Mace because of their voting records.
“I absolutely love living in South Carolina and taking time to listen to voters (and viewers), and what I hear is total frustration with President Biden’s aggressive progressive agenda. South Carolina is conservative, and South Carolinians deserve conservative representation in D.C.”
Bolling has considered entering the political arena before, having moved to South Carolina with the possibility of taking on Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), though he ultimately decided against it. Bolling, who used to be a Wall Street trader, worked at Fox News for 11 years until leaving the network amid sexual misconduct allegations that he has denied. He supported Trump and interviewed him several times.
Trump has expressed his intention to use primary races to derail Republicans such as Rice who did not support him. Mace, though she opposed impeachment, nevertheless cooled toward the former president in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Many conservatives would love the chance to vote for a pro-Trump lawmaker over a RINO who voted to impeach Trump.
Sounds good, he should. He will win. Go Eric !
