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.”

I’m not convinced Dwayne Johnson is willing to destroy his brand.
They might just as well pass a law prohibiting anyone who isn’t “of color” from running for president.
Mickey is off his rocker!!
If Trump runs he’s my guy. If he doesn’t I like DeSantis...a lot. Never heard of “The Rock”...and don’t care to.
Mulvaney resigned his position in the Trump Administration on the evening of January 6th, 2021. Another long-time Washington political creature bootlicking the Establishment to get on line for his place on the Swamp’s Gravy Train.
OMG..The Rock? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOOLOLLOLOLLOLLOLOLOLOLOLLOLLOLOLLLOLOLOLOLOLOOOLOOLOLOLL😂
Tim Scott and Dwyane Johnson, what has Mulvaney been taking, Magic Mushrooms or what?
Nice!
Tim Scott is my Senator, and he is mostly MIA.
Mulvaney is another Bush League Republican from South Carolina.
That seems to be all that they elect.
South Carolina Bush Leaguer, it’s all they elect.
It’s okay Mick, they already turned you so you can stupid saying stupid crap. Go away and take Chrisie Wallace with you where ever you go.
They tried to get Captain Testosterone to run for President as a RAT in 2016.
Johnson is a meathead, a Reiner wanna b.
Celebrity has some value in politics... but if that’s all you have, starting by shooting for the top isn’t likely to work.
He endorsed Biden for president.
Why would he be a Republican candidate?
