He described the meeting as positive and inspirational, with Trump\u2019s support possibly being crucial for his campaign. Grammer, who recently attended a screening of his film &#8220;Young Washington,&#8221; indicated he might consider running for office, viewing it as a way to serve his country. Although he did not specify which position he might pursue, his property in New York\u2019s 19th Congressional District places him in a potential race for that seat, currently held by democrat Josh Riley.
