Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Decides Not to Endorse Presidential Candidate in 2024
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, a prominent figure in the entertainment industry and former wrestler, has announced that he will not be endorsing any presidential candidate for the upcoming 2024 election. This decision marks a departure from his previous endorsement of Joe Biden during the 2020 election, where he publicly supported the now President.
Reflecting on his past endorsement, Johnson expressed that he felt his influence during the 2020 election led to division rather than unity, a realization that has guided his decision for the current election cycle. As the actor explained in an interview with Fox News, he aims to bring the country together and will keep his political views private.
During the interview, Johnson shared his disappointment with the current state of America, citing concerns about divisiveness, cancel culture, and societal unrest. Despite his reservations about the political climate, he emphasized his trust in the American people and their choice for the presidency.
Notably, Johnson reiterated that he has no intentions of running for office himself, emphasizing his commitment to his role as a father. His daughter, Simone, has played a significant role in shaping his priorities, with Johnson prioritizing his family over potential political ambitions.
Furthermore, Johnson revealed that various political parties approached him in 2022, expressing interest in his candidacy for the presidency. While acknowledging the support he garnered in a 2021 poll, the actor reiterated that politics has never been his primary goal and that he harbors certain reservations about the political sphere.
