Despitethe tragic details of Schwarzenegger’s childhood, he’s had a record of winning from an early age.
Schwarzenegger beat out 134 candidates on the ballot to replace his predecessor, Gray Davis, in 2003.
This intrigued Americans, prompting a nationwide curiosity about how the inexperienced politician became the 38th Governor of California.
So, what was Schwarzenegger’s secret?
In fact, Schwarzenegger especially valued his ex-wife, Maria Shriver, as the key to his political success.
Shriver came from a long line of politicians, with her father serving as the former U.S.
Ambassador to France, while her uncle was Former President John F. Kennedy.
However, Schwarzenegger adamantly refused to pursue the governorship unless Shriver was fully on board with the idea.
