Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, in an interview with 'Fox & Friends Weekend,' has voiced his dissatisfaction with the current state of America, citing the division caused by his endorsement of President Biden in 2020. Johnson has stated that he will not be publicly endorsing a candidate in the 2024 election, and instead will focus on fostering unity within the country.
In an interview with 'Fox & Friends Weekend,' legendary actor and former WWE superstar Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has expressed his regrets over the division caused by his endorsement of President Biden in the 2020 election. Johnson, who identifies as an independent, explained that his decision to endorse Biden was based on his belief that it was the best choice for the country at the time.
However, Johnson admitted that the experience left him feeling torn. "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," he said. "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."
Johnson's comments echo the sentiments of several other celebrities who have chosen not to endorse a candidate in the 2024 election. "The View" co-hosts recently found themselves in a heated exchange with radio host Charlamagne tha God, who had publicly questioned his own decision to endorse Biden in 2020. Charlamagne expressed his preference for focusing on issues rather than individuals and noted that he had witnessed the co-hosts attempting to pressure other guests into endorsing Biden.
Comedian Michael Rapaport, a former vocal critic of former President Trump, has also withdrawn his support for President Biden. Rapaport cited Biden's perceived lack of support for Israel in its conflict with Hamas as the reason for his decision. He has even gone so far as to suggest that he would consider voting for Trump in the 2024 election.
Rapper Cardi B, who endorsed Biden in 2020, has also expressed disappointment with the Biden administration. She has voiced concerns about the high cost of living and the perceived lack of action on issues she cares about.
Filmmaker Oliver Stone has also expressed regret over his decision to vote for Biden. Stone has warned that unless the United States changes its current course, it could face a potential World War III.
Johnson's decision to forgo public endorsements in 2024 is a reflection of the growing political polarization in America. Many celebrities are becoming increasingly cautious about wading into the political arena, fearing that their endorsements could alienate fans or further divide the country.
Johnson's focus on unity is a welcome departure from the divisive rhetoric that has become commonplace in American politics. His belief in bringing the country together is a sentiment that many Americans share, and it is a hope that he hopes to foster in the years to come.
