Michael Rapaport is no stranger to negativity and loud opinions, but this week, he is hogging the spotlight for a different reason. Ahead of his reality TV appearance, the actor announced that he plans to run for New York City mayor in 2029, positioning him as the blunt alternative to the newly sworn-in mayor, Zohran Mamdani.
In a video posted on his Instagram, the actor and comedian emphasised that he “will do my best to make New York City safe, affordable and thriving.” The announcement comes just as the Friends actor steps into yet another high-profile spotlight as a cast member on The Traitors US season 4, where his loud opinions are expected to make him one of the show’s most-talked-about and dubious players.
