In an interview with Fox News, the 51-year-old revealed he turned down offers from both parties. The People’s Champion claimed that he wanted to focus on spending time with his family and, more importantly, his daughters. 

I’m honored. I’m not a politician, never had the intentions to be a politician. As all this continues to take shape and form, and I get it, especially ramping up into this year in particular with an election year. I actually got approached by both parties. One after the other. I said, then, as I say now, ‘I’m honored, thank you. The most important thing I’m doing now is being a daddy to my little girls.’
