‘I Want to Be There’: Dwayne Johnson Seals His POTUS Fate Despite Fan Backlash

Dwayne Johnson is a man who delights fans and often has interesting news to share. It is quite uncommon for The People’s Champion, who adores his supporters, to deliver bad news to them. Meanwhile, DJ recently let everyone know he was not interested in running for president, which upset many people.

Following this, The Rock faced a lot of criticism since his admirers had been hoping to see him as a presidential candidate. After the uproar, Johnson again clarified his stance on the POTUS in his tweet.

For those who don’t know, Johnson said he’s not planning to run for president during an interview with Tracy Smith from CBS News Sunday Morning. The fact that Simone Johnson, DJ’s first daughter, was born at the same time he was just getting his Hollywood career off the ground meant that he missed out on the chance to spend time with his first child. Thus, Johnson’s primary focus is raising his child now that he has two beautiful daughters.

Johnson solidifies his decision to step away from consideration for the presidency on Twitter in the meantime. He emphasized that although he is grateful that he has been in serious conversations about running for president, his primary priority right now is his daughters since these are very critical years for them and they need him the most in these years.
