Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson recently appeared on The Will Cain Show, where he made a significant announcement regarding the upcoming 2024 U.S. Presidential election.
The actor and current WWE Superstar revealed his decision not to endorse any candidate this time around, reflecting on the aftermath of his previous endorsement of Joe Biden and expressing concern about the division it had caused in the country.
Johnson began by acknowledging the current state of America, stating, “Am I happy with the state of America right now? Well, that answer’s no. Do I believe we’re going to get better? I believe in that. I’m an optimistic guy, and I believe we can get better. The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was what I thought was the best decision for me at that time.”
“Am I happy with the state of America right now? Well, that answer’s no. Do I believe we’re going to get better? I believe in that. I’m an optimistic guy, and I believe we can get better. The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was what I thought was the best decision for me at that time.”
However, he was quick to clarify that he wouldn’t be repeating that endorsement in the upcoming election.
“Am I going to do that again this year? That answer’s no. I’m not going to do that. Because what I realized that what that caused back then was something that tears me up in my guts back then and now, which is division. And that got me. The takeaway after that months and months and months, I started to realize like, ‘Oh man, that caused an incredible amount of division in our country.’ So I realize now going into this election, I’m not going to do that. I wouldn’t do that because my goal is to bring our country together. I believe in that, in my DNA. So in the spirit of that, there’s going to be no endorsement. Not that I’m afraid of it at all, but it’s just I realize that this level of influence —I’m gonna keep my politics to myself, and I think it’s between me and the ballot box.”
Johnson’s decision underscores his commitment to unity and his respect for everyone’s right to choose their leaders. He emphasized the importance of bridging divides rather than exacerbating them, opting to keep his political views private and let individuals make their own decisions at the ballot box. In doing so, he aims to contribute positively to the national dialogue and promote cohesion rather than discord.
