Fans are wishing for Dwayne Johnson to lead the nation amid Joe Biden and Donald Trump feud.
The presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump has got the world glued to their screens to witness one of the most interesting political discussions.

It might as well be considered a historical event as it is the first time a current president and a former president have ever debated. They tackled topics such as immigration, abortion, foreign laws, and inflation, among others.
Joe Biden and Donald Trump’s Debate Turned Into A Messy And Chaotic Insult Contest
During their debate via CNN, Joe Biden and Donald Trump hurled a couple of insults now and then as they tried to defend their arguments. At one point, when the current president failed to continue his statement about border security, Trump remarked, “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don’t think he knows what he said, either.”
Biden’s personal strategy to catch Trump off-guard was to deliver his witty one-liners. He would say, “Every single thing he’s said is a lie. Every single one” and “I’ve never heard so much malarky in my life.”
Perhaps the most striking comment Biden said was, “You’re a sucker. You’re the loser.” But, when Biden tackled a question about the national debt and declared at the end, “We finally beat Medicare,” Trump saw his opportunity to take a jab at this comment. “Well, he’s right: he did beat Medicare. He beat it to death,” he bantered.
Fans Call For Dwayne Johnson As The Next President

After Biden and Trump’s frustrating and controversial debate, netizens believe there is someone who could put an end to this political dilemma: Dwayne Johnson. Yes, the famous wrestler-turned-actor! On Twitter, fans expressed their enthusiasm to have The Rock as the next president of the United States.
Is Johnson considering joining the battlefield that is politics? In an interview with Trevor Noah on his podcast, the Jumanji actor said that there was a poll that led to parties contacting him if he was interested in running for the presidency.
That was an interesting poll that happened and I was really moved by that. 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.
Although he said it was never his greatest goal to run for politics and his main focus is his family, the actor did not dismiss the possibility. “If that’s ultimately what the people would want, then of course I would consider it,” Johnson remarked.
