    Awww maaaaaannnn… Tsk really? That sucks.

    Edit, from Wikipedia:

    As part of WWE’s non-partisan “Smackdown Your Vote” campaign aiming to encourage young people to vote,[405] Johnson had a speaking role at the 2000 Republican National Convention[406] and attended the 2000 Democratic National Convention less than two weeks later.[407]

    Johnson voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012,[276] but did not vote in 2016,[408] and was an independent voter as of 2017.[409] He endorsed Joe Biden in 2020,[410] but told Fox News in an April 2024 interview that he regretted the decision due to it causing “division” and refused to endorse anyone in 2024.[411]

    Imo not good, but definitely nuanced and probably not great. I didn’t see the interview though so I don’t know.

      He’s trying to stay independent because he fantasizes about running for president one day. He even did a TV show where the framing device was him being interviewed as a presidential candidate, so they could show his life in flashbacks. It was an obvious ploy to position him as a legitimate political candidate in viewers’ minds.

      Every rich and/or famous person now thinks they should be president.
