Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Leads Kamala Harris as 2028 Democratic Presidential Hopeful on Polymarket

Published

Dwayne «The Rock» Johnson, the WWE wrestler-turned-actor, has surpassed former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris as the leading Democratic contender for the 2028 presidential race on the decentralized betting platform Polymarket.

As of now, shares betting «yes» on Johnson’s victory are trading at 7 cents, implying a 7% chance of the multi-millionaire actor winning the nomination. This places him fourth in the race, behind Gavin Newsom, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Pete Buttigieg.

Meanwhile, traders priced in a 5% probability of Harris winning the bid, placing her in the 5th spot alongside Andy Beshear. Traders also see 1% chance of Tim Waltz, Michelle Obama and Mark Cuban emerging victorious.

Polymarket is a decentralized prediction market platform that enables users to speculate on the outcome of real-world events, such as elections and asset price movements, by trading shares representing different outcomes.

The betting platform announced Tuesday that it has secured an investment from venture capital firm 1789 Capital and Donald Trump Jr, son of the U.S. President, as a member of its advisory board.

I was asked to run for President

In 2023, Johnson disclosed that multiple parties approached him too see if he would run for U.S. President after a poll showed that 46% of Americans would support his run in the White House.

«That was an interesting poll that happened and I was really moved by that,» Johnson said. «I was really blown away and I was really honored. I’ll share this little bit with you: at the end of the year in 2022, I got a visit from the parties asking me if I was going to run, and if I could run,» Johnson said on Trevor Noah’s new Spotify podcast, What Now?

The Rock, who has described himself as a centrist and political independent, endorsed Joe Biden in the lead-up to the 2020 election but refused to do the same last year.

The actor is not only a Hollywood superstar but also a social media marketing powerhouse, boasting 392 million followers on Instagram. His pro-wrestling career showcased unmatched «promo skills,» which could come in handy if he decides to pursue a political campaign.
