Governor Costner? The Political “Itch”

​Because his character in Yellowstone becomes the Governor of Montana, rumors have persisted for years that Costner is preparing for a real-world run for Governor of California or Wyoming. He is known for his centrist views—endorsing Pete Buttigieg in 2020 but remaining a “traditional” outdoorsman.

In recent interviews, Costner has dodged the question, saying he “doesn’t like the lack of privacy,” but insiders claim he has been approached by both parties to consider a run. The rumor is that he is waiting until his Horizon saga is finished before making a move into the political arena.
