Story

In a recent episode of the Going Ringside podcast, Glenn Jacobs, the Mayor of Tennessee and former WWE star, discussed the potential political aspirations of Dwayne Johnson. Jacobs expressed his view that Johnson should steer clear of politics due to its contentious and toxic nature. He noted how even a beloved figure like Johnson could face backlash, as 50% of people would likely disagree with him regardless of his statements. This advice comes in light of Johnson's past political involvement when he endorsed Joe Biden for president in 2020. Johnson later reflected on the division that endorsement caused and stated he would not make a public endorsement in future elections, favoring unity over political discord.
