Can you smell what The Rock’s cookin’? It’s Kamala!
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has just knocked Kamala Harris down another peg — overtaking her in the latest 2028 presidential betting odds. The shocking development highlights the chaos inside the Democratic Party as President Donald Trump continues to dominate the political stage.
The Rock Beats Harris in 2028 Odds
According to betting platform Polymarket, Johnson now has a 5.6% chance of securing the White House in 2028, edging past Kamala Harris, who sits at only 5% odds. Harris — who lost to Trump in 2024 and failed to unite Democrats — is now trailing behind a Hollywood actor better known for action movies and wrestling than policy.
Democrats in Total Disarray
The numbers reveal a party in meltdown. California Gov. Gavin Newsom leads with 32% odds, followed by socialist firebrand Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at 11%. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg sits at 6%, barely ahead of Johnson and, at times, even falling behind him.
Democrats are splintered between far-left radicals and moderates, with no clear frontrunner capable of taking on Trump’s proven America First agenda.
The Rock’s Political Appeal
Talk of a Johnson presidential run has circulated for years. In 2021, a poll found nearly half of Americans would consider voting for him. Johnson has admitted that political parties approached him about running, though he publicly downplayed intentions in 2024.
Still, the fact that he’s ranked above Harris in the markets shows how badly Democrats are struggling. As political analyst Heath Brown told Newsweek, “Name recognition goes a long way in politics, and Dwayne Johnson surely has a lot of it.”
Trump’s Shadow Looms Large
Meanwhile, President Trump remains the commanding figure in American politics. His decisive 2024 victory over Harris has left Democrats bruised, divided, and desperate. With Trump setting the agenda, Democrats are scrambling for anyone — even a movie star — to stand a chance in 2028.
What’s Next?
Potential candidates are expected to make official announcements only after the 2026 midterm elections. Until then, betting markets may be the clearest window into Democrat turmoil — and right now, Kamala Harris is losing ground not just to Trump, but to The Rock.
