A family often compared to the fictional Roy family from HBO’s Succession lives out one of the show’s storylines.
Johnny Buss, the brother of Lakers Governor Jeanie Buss, is president of the United States, according to documents filed with the Federal Election Committee and an official website for his campaign.
“I envision an America that leads with compassion, innovation and, above all, integrity. An America where racial equality is not just an ideal, but a lived reality for every citizen. Where our policies reflect our commitment to the planet, and where education opens doors to a future that holds promise,” says Johnny Buss on the website Buss2024.com.
He is registered as an independent candidate.
