The poll found that 29% would support campaigns by both Johnson for president and actor Matthew McConaughey for Texas governor, with another 17% supporting Johnson\u2019s run only.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition to Johnson, the poll asked respondents to weigh in on whether a number of other celebrities should run for president,\u201d Newsweek <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/46-want-dwayne-rock-johnson-president-he-floats-potential-run-1581840\">reported<\/a>. \u201cA presidential run from Angelina Jolie had the support of 30 percent, while 27 percent supported Oprah Winfrey and another 22 percent supported Tom Hanks. A combined 63 percent said that Hollywood stars would \u2018make good politicians\u2019 if they had \u2018political aptitude\u2019 or \u2018the right team in place.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former pro wrestler has been teasing a run for several years.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in February with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/entertainment\/tv\/2021\/02\/15\/dwayne-johnson-young-rock-shows-family-version-andre-giant-moment\/6735837002\/\">USA Today<\/a>&nbsp;about his new sitcom \u201cYoung Rock,\u201d which chronicles his childhood, Johnson echoed his 2017 comments to Ellen DeGeneres that he may run for president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would consider a presidential run in the future if that\u2019s what the people wanted,\u201d he said. \u201cTruly I mean that, and I\u2019m not flippant in any way with my answer. That would be up to the people\u2026So I would wait, and I would listen. I would have my finger on the pulse, my ear to the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after former President Donald Trump took office, Johnson said he was \u201cseriously considering\u201d a run for the White House. In an odd twist, the faux-autobiographical \u201cYoung Rock\u201d features a future version of Johnson who\u2019s running for president in 2032.<\/p>\n<p>Last September,&nbsp;Johnson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/dwayne-the-rock-johnson-backs-biden-in-first-ever-endorsement-calls-kamala-harris-certified-badass\">called<\/a> himself a \u201ccentrist\u201d as he endorsed Joe Biden, clarifying that he has voted for both parties while lauding Kamala Harris as a \u201ccertified badass.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a political independent &amp; centrist, I\u2019ve voted for both parties in the past,\u201d Johnson tweeted. \u201cIn this critical presidential election, I\u2019m endorsing [Joe Biden] &amp; [Kamala Harris]. Progress takes courage, humanity, empathy, strength, KINDNESS &amp; RESPECT. We must ALL VOTE[.]\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got friends in all parties, but the one thing we can always agree on is the conversation and the dialogue, and where that conversation lands is always the most critical part,\u201d he said in a video.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought it was a great and extremely productive conversation that we had, and as a registered independent for years now with centrist ideologies, I do feel that Vice President Biden and Senator Harris are the best choice to lead our country, and I am endorsing them to become president and vice president of our United States,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
