Okay, this story is being widely misreported, and it's annoying.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is not supporting Trump and he did not say he wouldn't vote for Pres. Biden and he did not say Pres. Biden shouldn't be reelected.
He said he's not going to publicly endorse Pres. Biden because he regrets the criticism he got for his 2020 endorsement. He said he's keeping his political views private.
Of course, that rings a bit ridiculous. Doing an interview on Fox News and lamenting "cancel culture" and "woke culture" and blaming our current division on Pres. Biden is very much a choice.
It's also quite wrong. Trump is the most divisive public figure in modern American history. Divisiveness is his brand. Pres. Biden, meanwhile, has worked overtime to do outreach to Republican voters.
And Mr. Johnson knows this. The Rock is a very smart man. It turns out he's also very cynical.
He's hedging his bets. In a moment when democracy is under attack and it's all hands on deck, The Rock is choosing The Rock. He's choosing his bottom line. He's choosing his money.
So, in exchange for flat-out declining to support Trump, he's throwing the Fox News crowd a bone with a slam on Pres. Biden. Offering this equivocation on Fox News gains cultural permission from many Republicans.
He's hedging his bets, y'all. That's what this is. It's cowardly and sad for a man who should know better.
Ronna facilitated Trump’s corrupt fake elector plot & his effort to pressure MI officials not to certify the legitimate election outcome.She spread his lies & called 1/6 “legitimate political discourse.” That’s not “taking one for the team.” It’s enabling criminality & depravity.

@wwales1017@Scaramucci It's actually not. You only think it's crumbling cuz that all your king trump ever says. Must suck living your life being scared of everything he tells you to be scared of.
@DamionC59834263 @Scaramucci Good businesses understand. But Shitty Business men hate being taxed. They Also hate paying a decent wage for the work they do. However they love paying the illegals they hate to do their work.
On January 6th, I defended our democracy from insurrectionists as a Capitol Police Officer. After, President Biden honored me with the Presidential Citizens Medal.
Today, I’m running for Congress to stop Trump's MAGA extremists & ensure it never happens again.

@PalmerReport@PalmerReport I really do appreciate your insight but we've gone from "he's not a realistic candidate" to "he may win the republicans nomination" and now "he's tied in polling". I know you'll say "prison" but how else can things change in the next year?
