Politics
In 2007, Baldwin endorsed Sam Brownback for President. After Brownback left the race, Baldwin switched his support to Mike Huckabee. Baldwin was a strong supporter of the McCain–Palin presidential ticket after Huckabee dropped out of the 2008 presidential race. That same year, Baldwin threatened to move to Canada if Barack Obama was elected, and challenged the candidate to box for charity. In June 2011, Baldwin floated the possibility of entering New York City's 2013 mayoral race as an opponent of his brother Alec Baldwin, who previously suggested that he may run himself.
