Dwayne Johnson Showed Up At The Capitol And people think he might be getting into politics
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson made a surprise visit to Capitol Hill on Wednesday, and social media users used the stop to mock the Republican chaos that has recently engulfed Congress.
The professional wrestler-turned-actor’s meeting with Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) focused on military recruitment efforts, reported Politico.
But people on X, formerly Twitter, brought up former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) alleged elbowing of Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) and Sen. Markwayne Mullin’s (R-Okla.) almost-fight during a hearing.

“Can you smell what The Rock is cooking?” someone shouted.
“Are you running for president?” another reporter said. pic.twitter.com/cPeRe9jZDo
I need Chuck Grassley to drop a random pic of him and The Rock on the timeline like he did when Paris Hilton visited Congress. https://t.co/Z7NEjcitTy

Johnson has long been tipped for the White House but has repeatedly dismissed the idea. On an episode of comedian Trevor Noah’s “What Now” podcast released last week, he said at the end of 2022, he “got a visit from the parties, asking me if I was going to run and if I could run. It was a big deal, and it came out of the blue.”
