Even as the 2020 United States Presidential Election seems to be honed in on two candidates (Donald Trump and Joe Biden), there has been rampant speculation in recent days as to who else might jump in.
First it was Andrew Cuomo and then Mark Cuban and now odds are up on Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Is there any chance The Peoples Champion gets into the 2020 race?
Odds as of June 4th, 2020.
One of the main reasons why other candidates are coming up the conversation is that it appears many people on the left are not comfortable with Biden. The former Vice President should have a basic layup in the race for the White House in 2020 but a number of issues continue to plague him. While he leads nationally, few feel confident.
One of the main reasons for it is the continuous run of gaffes that Biden keeps making. From telling African American voters they arent black enough if they dont vote for him to saying that cops should shoot people in the leg instead of the heart, hes really mucking up what should be a very easy presidential run.
While The Rock has been off the board at times in terms of the 2020 presidential election odds, hes now back on it at +10000. Its pretty clear that the oddsmakers think there is a slight chance of this happening.
In my opinion, there is none.
To start, hes not even in the race. Secondly, hes not a politician. Usually, you cant win these things based on popularity alone. There has been no indication of what his platform would be. Does he want healthcare for all? How would he stop the riots? What does he think about taxes?
In the case that hed run as a Democrat, you have to realize that Biden already has a ton of delegates. If the party opted not to go with Biden and instead switch to The Rock in whichever way they would really be overthrowing the will of the people.
In the case that anyone suggests he run as an independent, that would only split the vote on the left and assure Trump a victory in 2020. They dont want that, so running as an independent also doesnt make sense.
At this point, I dont take these odds seriously. Cuban is on the board but hes already said hes not running for President, so I dont think there is much credence to The Rock running either.
I could see him eventually deciding to move into politics but now is not the time. Hed do more harm than good in the eyes of the people that he needs to back him to make a serious run.
