In a major about-face, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson says he will not be endorsing Biden for reelection.
During an interview with Fox News' Will Cain released Friday, the actor said he will not be making any endorsement for president in 2024.
“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 back then … I'm in this position where I have some influence,” the 51-year-old “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” star said.
“I felt like that then, it's my job now to exercise my influence and share this is who I'm going to endorse,” he said.
“Am I going to do that again this year? That answer's no,” the pro-wrestler-turned-actor said in his Fox News interview.
“I also realized that what that caused back then, was something that tears me up in my gut back then and now, which is division,” he said.
“In the spirit of that, there's gonna 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 going to keep my politics to myself. I think it's between me and the ballot box,” Johnson said.
The WWE executive, who's considered his own potential political bid over the years, added, “But I will tell you this: While like a lot of us out there are not trusting of all politicians, I do trust the American people. And I trust that whoever they vote for, that's going to be my president. And that's who I'm going to support 100 percent.”
