Are Dwayne Johnson and Tom Hanks Really Running for President?

Date:

Dwayne Johnson announced on Saturday Night Live that he is running for president alongside Tom Hanks.

Rumors of Dwayne Johnson running for public office all started after an interview with GQ magazine where he was asked if he would consider running for public office. “I think that’s a real possibility,” he said.

That said, a recent study by public Policy Polling earlier this month revealed The Rock had a favorability rating of 36%. While, only 13% of voters had a negative view of the wrestler. In a race against Donald Trump, researchers found Johnson would lead the president 42% to 37%, winning over 15% of people who voted for Trump last year.

“I mean, I’ve been in two movies where the plane crashes and people are still excited to see me in their flights,” Hanks pointed out.

“Now I’m actually worried I’m too qualified,” Johnson said, in a not-so-subtle dig at President Donald Trump.

“Tom, together I think we’re unstoppable,” he added.

Tom Hanks pointed out that together, they will be able to hit all of the target demographics. “I would get the seniors’ vote because I fought in World War II in, like, ten different movies.”

“And I, of course, would get the minority vote because everyone just assumes that I’m, well, whatever they are,” Johnson added.

“When it comes to politics, we need more poise and less noise,” Johnson said, testing out a campaign slogan he first mentioned on The Tonight Show last week. “Americans deserve strong capable leaders.”
