News summary

Disney CEO Bob Iger recently addressed speculation about a potential presidential run during an episode of Kelly Ripa's podcast, denying any intention to run for office despite having considered it twice in the past. He recounted a conversation with an unnamed Democratic Party figure who encouraged him to run based on his appearance, which Iger dismissed as insufficient motivation. While he acknowledged that his wife, Willow Bay, is not fully supportive of the idea, she is committed to backing his ambitions. Iger emphasized that finding a successor for his CEO role at Disney is his top priority, stating he is 'obsessed' with the search. His current contract extends through 2026, and he aims to ensure a smooth transition before retiring again. Despite the persistent rumors and public backing from figures like Oprah Winfrey, Iger remains firm in his decision not to pursue a presidential bid.
