[The wrestler turned action star
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson dealt
a blow to Joe Biden,
saying he would not repeat his endorsement
of the president in his looming
rematch with Donald Trump.
Johnson endorsed Biden in his
first contest with Trump four years ago,
saluting the former vice-president and
senator for his “compassion, heart, drive and soul”.
But in an interview with Fox News
on Friday, Johnson said:
“Am I going to do that again this year?
That answer’s no. I realise now going
into this election, I will not do that.”
Long the subject of rumours about his
own political ambitions,
Johnson reportedly fielded an approach
from No Labels, the centrist
group that now says it will not run
a candidate against Biden and Trump.
Johnson has not disavowed talk
of running for office. In 2021, after a poll
showed public support, he said:
“I don’t think 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 – but if it ever happens
it’d be my honour to serve you, the people.”]
