Schwarzenegger: ‘If I’d been born in America, I would’ve run’

Arnold Schwarzenegger says if he were a natural-born citizen, he would’ve made a bid for the Republican nomination this year.

“If I’d been born in America, I would’ve run,” Schwarzenegger told Adweek in an interview published Monday. “Because now? This was a very good time to get in the race.”

The 69-year-old Austrian-born bodybuilder turned actor turned two-term California governor, who endorsed Ohio Gov. John Kasich during the GOP primary, believes he would’ve made a better nominee than Donald Trump.

Earlier this month, Schwarzenegger announced on Twitter that he will not be voting for Trump in next month’s presidential election, and he urged fellow Republicans to do the same.

“For the first time since I became a citizen in 1983, I will not vote for the Republican candidate for President,” Schwarzenegger wrote. “As proud as I am to label myself a Republican, there is one label that I hold above all else – American. So I want to take a moment today to remind my fellow Republicans that it is not only acceptable to choose your country over your party – it is your duty.”
