Conor McGregor announces plans for Irish presidency

News summary

Conor McGregor has announced his intention to run for the presidency of Ireland, capitalizing on his recent high-profile visit to the White House where he met with Donald Trump. McGregor's campaign is centered around opposing the EU Migration Pact, claiming it undermines the voice of the Irish people. He asserts that any other candidates will not challenge the current government effectively, positioning himself as a champion for democracy. However, experts speculate that his campaign could be divisive, especially given his controversial past, including being found liable for sexual assault. The likelihood of McGregor securing the necessary nominations to run appears slim, as he must garner support from 20 members of the Oireachtas or four local authorities. His political aspirations have sparked a mix of excitement and skepticism regarding the impact of his celebrity status on Irish politics.
