Former Trump administration official Mick Mulvaney said that Joe Biden-backing Hollywood star and Black Lives Matter supporter Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson could be one of former President Donald Trump’s serious Republican primary challengers in 2024.
After being asked by Politico who could mount a serious challenge to Trump in the 2024 GOP primary, Mulvaney said, “It’s a short list,” but oddly included The Rock on that list.
“[Florida Gov. Ron] DeSantis could give him a run for his money. [South Carolina Sen.] Tim Scott can give him a run for his money. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson could give him a run for his money,” Mulvaney told Politico on Tuesday.
While the Black Adam and Fast and Furious star has openly flirted with the idea of running for president — albeit admitting that he doesn’t “know the first thing about politics” or “policy” — seeing the actor run in a GOP primary is not as realistic.
In 2020, The Rock made headlines after backing Black Lives Matter and hammering President Trump amid violence over the police involved death of George Floyd. “There’s going to be blood,” he said at the time.
“Where is our leader at this time, when our country is down on its knees begging, pleading, hurt, angry, frustrated, in pain? Begging and pleading with its arms out, just wanting to be heard,” the Jumanji star said in an Instagram video. “We must say the words: Black Lives Matter.”

What the hell happened to Mick Mulvaney? Has he always been this delusional?
Today the Crock is black , before that Samoan. Is he using Kamala’s playbook?
Washington is full of opportunists like this.
And people here who have said that Trump isn’t always the best judge of character are correct.
It’s inevitable that Duane Johnson will become a US president.
Right!
Don’t forget China loving. The Rock answers to China , the main market for his stupid movies.
Yeah! And Elvis will come out of hiding and take over Twitter, and Elmer Fudd will win and Oscar.
Vince McMahon wasn’t available for comment
Yes, and this malevolent, too.
Another Bushie in the Trump White House, fostering factionalism and subverting good policy initiatives.
They continue to underestimate or intentionally ignore what made Trump popular.
If money or celebrity was all it took, we would have President Bloomberg or President Cuban.
Trump is a leader, a successful business person, with a opportunistic eye, great visionary qualities, a deep and abiding love for American, an unshakable desire to see the country prosper, a global market awareness, a high IQ, excellent messaging, and positions that have taken years to form.
When he talks, people believe him. When he threatens, soothes, encourages, or rages, people believe him.
Bloomberg was another double-talking pol, Cuban was a brashed-mouth ass, and Dwayne is a nice but limited actor.
They can’t touch Trump.
I’m watching his TV Series Baller right now with my brother. Couldn’t be more crude. We are watching it to see just how low common culture has sunk.
Mulvaney is nuts. The Rock has zero chance.
Kid Rock >> The Rock
Whatever’s
When he came out to support biden, his social media was full of people disgusted with him. It was hilarious.
I hope he enjoys screwing up his career.
nope! we have too many queers in the present administration.
The campaign pec pops would gather media attention. But votes, I doubt it.
“They continue to underestimate or intentionally ignore what made Trump popular.”
Hillary?
New meaning to “Dumb as a Rock!”
You just have to shake your head at the stupidity.
