REALLY?
Hmmmmmm?
A Fox Interview that Wrestling MAGA types are bound to see/hear, eh?
His choice IS His choice….
And?
He IS returning to WrestleMania.…
Dwayne Johnson will not endorse any presidential candidate this year, he confirmed during an interview with Fox News. It’s a change of pace for the celebrity, who publicly endorsed Joe Biden for president during the 2020 election.
“The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was one I thought was the best decision for me at that time,” Johnson said. “I thought, ‘I’m in this position where I have some influence and I felt it was my job then to exercise my influence [and] share: This is who I’m going to endorse.’ I’m not going to do that. I was then, the most followed man in the world, and am today, and I appreciate that… but what that caused was something that tears me up in my guts — which is division. That got me. I didn’t realize that then, I just felt like there was a lot of unrest and I’d like things to calm down.”
Johnson continued, “The takeaway after that was it caused an incredible amount of division. I realize now going into this election, I will not do that. My goal is to bring this country together. I believe in that. There will be no endorsement. At this level of influence, I will keep my politics to myself. It is between me and the ballot box. But I will tell you this: Like a lot of us out there, not trusting of all politicians, I do trust the American people and whoever they vote for that is my president and who I will support 100 percent.”
Fox News’ Will Cain asked Johnson if he was happy with the state of America, to which Johnson answered: “No.”….
….
On the same podcast, Johnson revealed that several political parties approached him in 2022 to ask if he would run for president after Noah mentioned that a 2021 political poll claimed 46% of U.S. adults would support Johnson’s campaign for president….
…
It was all very surreal because that’s never been my goal. My goal has never been to be in politics. As a matter of fact, there’s a lot about politics that I hate.”….

While I’d rather have him endorse Biden than sit this one out I think getting a Taylor Swift endorsement would be the bigger get.
The Rock is incredibly popular but I don’t know that many male wrestling fans would be moved by his weighing in on the subject.
Swift on the other hand engages young women in a way that drives right wingers nuts. Which would be a boon for Biden.
Yes indeed Scott….
