Ah, the world of politics-where the line between the ridiculous and the real blurs so seamlessly that one might mistake it for a WWE match. Enter Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, the former wrestling titan turned Hollywood heavyweight, who’s now the front-runner in the 2028 Democratic presidential race on Polymarket. Yes, you read that right, folks. The Rock. In politics. Who knew?
According to Polymarket, Johnson has a 6% chance of winning. Not exactly a landslide, but it’s enough to edge out Kamala Harris, who trails at 5%. Shares of Johnson winning are currently trading at a cool 7 cents, which, if you do the math (and we know you will), gives him a 7% shot at securing the Democratic nomination. For those keeping score, that places him behind Gavin Newsom, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Pete Buttigieg-although let’s be real, all that could change by 2028. And yes, he’s ahead of Harris, which is, well… kind of a surprise!
But wait, there’s more. Harris, tied with Andy Beshear, is languishing in sixth place with just a 5% chance. And as for other contenders like Tim Walz, Michelle Obama, and Mark Cuban? A mere 1% chance. Yep, that’s the kind of odds we’re dealing with here.
Polymarket is the platform where you can bet on elections using-wait for it-cryptocurrencies. Because why not add digital currency to your political predictions? Recently, the platform received a tidy investment from 1789 Capital, and as if that weren’t enough, they’ve roped in Donald Trump Jr. to their advisory board. The future is strange, my friends.
“The Rock” Johnson’s Journey to Politics
It was back in 2023 that Johnson let slip that he’d been approached by various parties about running for president. A poll had shown that 46% of Americans would happily trade in their current leadership for a chance at the Great One. Johnson, ever the centrist (and political independent), revealed that in late 2022, the political suits knocked on his door asking if he’d consider running. One can only imagine how those meetings went down-probably with a lot of body slams and epic promo speeches.
With 392 million Instagram followers, Johnson has more social media clout than most political dynasties combined. And let’s not forget his wrestling background-if there’s anyone who knows how to take a fall and make a dramatic comeback, it’s The Rock. If he runs, expect a campaign full of charisma, catchphrases, and maybe even a few impromptu SmackDown matches.
Presidential campaigns typically get rolling after the 2026 midterms, so it’s still early days. But don’t be surprised if the combination of Johnson’s celebrity status, social media reach, and sheer rock-solid charisma (pun intended) propels him to the forefront of the race.
The Democratic Party is going to need someone to bridge the divide between moderates and progressives, especially after Harris’ potential loss to Donald Trump in the 2024 election. Could Johnson be the unlikely hero? Only time will tell-although if the odds are any indication, the Rock could be about to lay the smackdown on the competition.
