Is Disney CEO Bob Iger about to run for president?

Kinda interesting he's resigning immediately from Disney and Oprah's been pushing him to run in 2020. Is he Bloomberg without the baggage? Is it too late even?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Bob Iger would be great, however it's too late. I don't even know if there are any states that he could get on the ballot for the primary. His exit at Disney is suspect however.

I immediately think of workers being coerced to train their foreign replacements.

Maybe that wasn't Bob?
