Q: Can you name any current, well-known elected officials who you would call introverts? [Anonymous]<\/span><\/h4>\nA:<\/strong> From Brenda<\/em>:<\/em> First one to come to mind is Barack Obama. Some say Hilary Clinton is also an introvert. Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell, also fits the description of an introvert. A former Trump administration official referring to Trump and McConnell, said, \u201cIt would be hard to find two people less alike in temperament in the political arena.\u201d McConnell is known for saying as little as possible but thinking a lot. \u2013 Response from Brenda<\/em><\/p>\nA:<\/strong> From Arthur:<\/em> Technically, he may not be current, but the first who comes to mind is Barack Obama. He is a prolific writer, and thrives on loneliness when he is doing that. My hunch is that when he was making policy, he rarely made decisions in a group; rather he would take in others\u2019 ideas and then make his choices in solitude. We\u2019ll learn more about that when his memoirs come out, hopefully shortly after the 2020 election.<\/p>\nOthers who might lean towards being more introverted than not might include Montana Governor (and Senate candidate) Steve Bullock, Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown, Hawaii Senator Mazie Hirono, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot \u2013 but these are all conjecture; labeling is clearly an inexact science. \u2013 Response from Arthur<\/em><\/p>\n
