WATCH: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson says why he WON'T be endorsing Biden this year



Several big-name celebrities endorsed Joe Biden in 2020, one of them being Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. However, this year, the herculean actor is singing a much different tune.

Dave Rubin plays a clip of a recent interview with Johnson during which he was asked about his prior support for Joe Biden.

“You made that endorsement in 2020. Are you happy with the state of America?” asked Fox News' Will Cain.

“That answer is no,” Johnson answered. “Do I believe we’re gonna get better? I believe in that. I’m an optimistic guy.”

“The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was one I thought was the best decision for me at that time,” he continued, adding that he used to think it was “[his] job to exercise [his] influence.”

“Am I going to do that again this year? That answer is no,” he concluded, without explicitly stating his political leanings.

Dave Rubin wonders if Johnson, like Joe Rogan and Elon Musk, is “waking up.”

“Do you think Trump can bring a bunch of these people to the promised land?” he asks Valuetainment’s Adam Sosnick and BlazeTV’s Alex Stein.

“When [Johnson] was on Joe Rogan's podcast, he didn't even understand how many billions of dollars we were giving to Ukraine to fight Russia, so this guy claims that he wants to be involved in politics, but he doesn't even know anything about the geopolitical money-laundering scheme that's going on that involves the president's son. So, I don't really put my hope and prayers into politicians or celebrities,” says Alex.

“I think at this point, the country is like, ‘You know what, I'll sign up for more [of Trump’s] mean tweets if we can get everything back on track to where we were pre-COVID,’” adds Adam.

Poll: Majority of voters say Biden endorsement would make them less likely to vote for a candidate



If Democratic candidates up for election in state and local races want to have any chance at winning their races, they should steer clear of President Joe Biden's endorsement.

According to a new Rasmussen Reports survey, more than half of U.S. voters said recently that they would be less likely to vote for a candidate in their state if that candidate were endorsed by the sitting president.

In fact, Biden's endorsement would be much less valuable in a state or local election than would be an endorsement from former President Donald Trump, especially with independent voters.

The shocking poll indicates that Biden's rapidly sinking popularity has now become a political liability for the Democratic Party as a whole and could prove to be a major factor in the upcoming 2022 midterm elections.

The survey — which was conducted between Nov. 4 and Nov. 7 and interviewed 1,000 likely U.S. voters — found that just 27% of respondents reported being more likely to vote for a candidate endorsed by Biden, while 51% reported being less likely to vote for such a candidate.

Comparatively, 38% of respondents reported that they would be more likely to vote for a candidate endorsed by Trump, while 39% of respondents said they would be less likely.

Even among Democratic voters, only 50% reported that they would be more likely to vote for a candidate in their state endorsed by Biden. The surprising response indicates that half of the Democratic Party's voters have soured on their top representative.

The survey's results as it pertained to hotly sought-after independent voters showcased even worse news for Biden, as more than two times as many said that a Trump endorsement would be more valuable.

"Among voters not affiliated with either major party, only 14% say a Biden endorsement would make them more likely to vote for a candidate in their state, while 32% would be more likely to vote for a Trump-endorsed candidate," Rasmussen reported.

As TheBlaze has previously reported, the president has been hemorrhaging approval since August following his administration's bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan and so far he has been unable to course-correct.

A survey conducted by USA Today and Suffolk University last week found that Biden's approval rating had sunk to just 38%, while his disapproval rating had shot up to 59%. The poll also found that a whopping two-thirds of independents disapproved of his job performance.

However, when confronted with the horrendous data, Biden refused to take the blame. Instead, he argued that Americans simply "don't feel" the positive impact of his accomplishments yet.
