Former California governor and Hollywood icon Arnold Schwarzenegger urged lawmakers to put party politics aside and work together for the public good, according to a recent interview with Rolling Stone.
“You have to get together and accomplish and be a public servant rather than a party servant,” Schwarzenegger said, stressing the need for bipartisan cooperation in a polarized political climate.
The 73‑year‑old, who served as governor from 2003 to 2011, has long been a vocal advocate for cross‑party collaboration on issues ranging from climate change to infrastructure. In the interview, he highlighted the importance of focusing on shared goals rather than partisan divisions.
Schwarzenegger’s remarks come as both Democrats and Republicans face mounting pressure to address pressing national challenges. His call for unity echoes a broader push among some former politicians to prioritize governance over party loyalty.
While the interview did not detail specific policy proposals, Schwarzenegger’s message was clear: effective public service requires cooperation, not acrimony.
