Popular Actor and wrestler Dwayne Johnson, professionally known as The Rock, has refused to endorse President Joe Biden for a second term despite doing so in the election that brought the 80-year-old to office.
Africa Today News, New York reports that the Rock, who endorsed Biden in the 2022 election, recently stated in an interview with Fox News: “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.
“Am I happy with the state of America right now? Well, that answer’s no. Do I believe we’re gonna get better? I believe in that – I’m an optimistic guy. And I believe we can do better.
“The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was what I thought was the best decision for me at that time. I thought back then, when we talked about, ‘Hey, you know, I’m in this position where I have some influence,’ and it was my job then to exercise my influence and share who I’m going to endorse.”

Johnson, who said his “goal is to bring this country together,” was quick to add that he would keep his politics to himself.
“It is between me and the ballot box, like a lot of us out there, not trusting of all politicians, I do trust the American people and whoever they vote for, that is my president and who I will support 100 per cent,” he said.
Back in September 2020, Johnson endorsed Biden and his running mate, Kamala Harris.
In another report, President Biden has promised to “move heaven and earth” to rebuild a collapsed Baltimore bridge as he visited the site of the disaster that killed six people.
Speaking in front of the mangled remains of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which still lie across the huge cargo ship that destroyed it, Biden said; “I’m here to say, your nation has your back.”
