Johnson asked “Where are you?” several times in his 8-minute video. The Rock wondered where the leader is while the country is down on its knees begging to be heard.

Johnson said he is expecting the leader of the country to assure and comfort the people that he is with them amid the chaos that America is facing today following Floyd's death. He also agreed that “all lives matter” but at present, the black community needs more attention, so everyone should acknowledge that “black lives matter.”

Furthermore, he acknowledged the fact that he is not a politician and has never been elected to office. However, he is a “man and a father who cares deeply about my family, about my children, and the world that they will live in.”

Johnson’s heartfelt message touched the hearts of his fans who watched the video. Many of them agreed that he would make a great president because he cares for the people.

“THE ROCK FOR PRESIDENT!!” one commented.

“ID VOTE FOR HIM,” another wrote.

“He would win if he joined the race right now he's literally the people's champ,” a different netizen wrote.

“Indeed. The Rock for President,” another opined.

“Kids, let me tell you about how The Rock became President Dwayne Johnson,” a different follower wrote.

Several also praised The Rock’s message because for them, he asked the right questions. They were also impressed by how he encouraged the people to “become the leaders we are looking for.”

In an interview with IndieWire, Johnson made it clear that he has no plans to join the 2020 presidential race. However, he also said that he is open to the possibility of running for president one day.

“I’m not ruling it out,” Johnson said. “I’m not ruling out the idea if I could make a bigger impact somehow, or potentially surround myself with good people.”
