Fox “correspondent at large” Geraldo Rivera tweeted yesterday – from Florida - that he’s “pondering running” in 2022 to replace Senator Rob Portman (R-OH), who has announced his retirement. UPDATED

Although Rivera tweeted from Siesta Key, Florida, he has lived in Shaker Heights, Ohio since 2017, according to Bloomberg, and has hosted a radio show called “Geraldo in Cleveland” since 2018.
Rivera previously thought about running for a U.S. Senate seat in New Jersey but never became a candidate, Bloomberg also noted.
If Twitter is any guide, Rivera should hold on to his day job:
The answer lies in Al Capone's safe. Seek and you shall find!

Often used figuratively, in this case LOL means I actually LOL’d.

Geraldo's Senate run is over before it began:
After a 36-hour pondering whirlwind I’ve decided not to seek public office. Erica and I deeply appreciate the good wishes of those cheering the idea.
