Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson leads celebrities turning their backs on Joe Biden as Hollywood flip-flops on their support
At this stage of his presidency, President Biden is polling worse than any occupant of the Oval Office since Jimmy Carter in 1980.
His support among black, Hispanic and young voters has plummeted since he took office, but support is also declining in an unlikely place:

Hollywood.
Just last week, for example, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson announced in an interview with Fox News that he would not support Biden this election season after campaigning heavily for the Democrat four years ago.
“The endorsement I gave Biden years ago was, in my opinion, the best decision for me at the time,” Johnson added.
“And I thought at the time when we were talking about it, 'Hey, you know, I'm in this position where I have some influence, and that's my job then' – I had the same feeling then – 'it is now my job, to do my job to influence and share, that's who I'm going to support,” Johnson said this weekend in a recorded interview with Fox & Friends Weekend co-host Will Cain.

“Will I do it again this year?” “The answer is no,” the 51-year-old star also said, before later adding: “I realize now that I won't be doing that in this election, my goal is to bring this country together.”
Johnson did not want to reveal who he plans to vote for, saying the decision is private.
The Rock's resignation against Biden is not an isolated incident. Not close.
Singer Cardi B, who has more than 168 million followers on Instagram alone, used the platform in 2023 to denounce the president she supported in 2020.
“I don’t support presidents anymore,” the rap megastar declared.
“Joe Biden says, 'Yes, we can finance two wars' … he says, 'Yes, we did it, we are the greatest nation.' No, we are not. We don't understand it and we're going through a lot right now. So say it!
“Her [are] “It is making budget cuts in the largest city in the United States,” she said, also referring to the depletion of New York City’s budget by thousands of illegal migrants who are being provided free housing and food. “This – is getting out of control.”
Snoop Dogg is another rapper who won't be endorsing Biden again this time, instead expressing his warm feelings for Trump during an interview in January.
Trump “did nothing wrong with me. He has done nothing but great things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris. “So I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump,” said the Gin & Juice singer.
Harris, co-founder of Death Row Records, had been in prison on drug charges before Trump's pardon freed him.
Snoop's public support of Trump is particularly notable since he once made a video in late 2017 that featured a mock Gorden.
Then-President Trump had called for the rapper to be imprisoned.
Actor and comedian Michael Rappaport, one of Donald Trump's most vocal critics on social media in 2020, recently told listeners on his podcast that the former president's election is “on the table.”
While former “Cheers” star Woody Harrelson, who played Biden on “Saturday Night Live” during the last campaign season to rave reviews, announced that he would not also be endorsing Biden, instead opting to support third-party candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. decided.
Charles Barkley, who has voted Democratic in almost every election, also recently took on Biden and the Democratic Party on CNN.
“The reason I believe the Democratic Party and Mr. Biden, President Biden, are losing black votes is because they only care about black people every four years,” Barkley said on his show “King Charles” in March. .
“Then us black people finally say, 'I don't know, man, aside from my ability to dunk a basketball, all my neighbors' hoods are still the same, our schools are still the same,'” the NBA legend added added.
“And that’s why I think black people leave disappointed [with] the Democratic Party.”
Biden received 92 percent of Black voters in 2020, but a recent New York Times/Siena College poll in March shows Biden only garnering support from 66 percent of Black voters, a decline of 26 percentage points.
Overall, the same poll shows Trump leading Biden by 5 points nationally.
