Dwayne Johnson might make a possible run for the White House
Dwayne Johnson has teased to making a possible run for the White House. The former professional wrestler addressed this notion after a poll suggested 46 percent of Americans would be willing to be next served by President Rock.
‘The Rock’ took o his social media handles in the wake of the surprising poll results, adding fuel to his rumored plans of running for POTUS.
“Not sure our Founding Fathers ever envisioned a six-four, bald, tattooed, half-Black, half-Samoan, tequila drinking, pick up truck driving, fanny pack wearing guy joining their club,” the Fast and the Furious star tweeted on April 10.

He added, “But if it ever happens it’d be my honor to serve the people.” More than 30,000 Americans were polled by Piplsay, and 46 percent of respondents said they would be open to having the Fast and Furious starlet in the White House. The Rock first teased a foray into politics back in 2017, and as recently as February, he floated the idea in an interview with USA Today, saying he would “consider a presidential run in the future if that’s what the people wanted.”
The news may not come as a shock to all, as Johnson has said in the past that he has given some thought about going into politics, specifically the top job. In 2017, Johnson called the notion a “real possibility.”
“I feel like I’m in a position now where my word carries a lot of weight and influence, which of course is why they want the endorsement,” Johnson said at the time. “But I also have a tremendous amount of respect for the process and felt like if I did share my political views publicly, a few things would happen — and these are all conversations I have with myself, in the gym at four o’clock in the morning — I felt like it would either (a) make people unhappy with the thought of whatever my political view was. And, also, it might sway an opinion, which I didn’t want to do.”
