I was really blown away and I was really honored,” he said about a 2021 poll that said 46% of US adults would vote for him. There was another poll that said 58% of Americans would want to see him as the next president. “I’ll share this little bit with you: at the end of the year in 2022, I got a visit from the parties asking me if I was going to run, and if I could run,” Dwayne revealed. “It was a big deal, and it came out of the blue,” he added. “It was one after the other, and they brought up that poll, and they also brought up their own deep-dive research that would prove that should I ever go down that road [I’d be a real contender].

It was all very surreal because that’s never been my goal. My goal has never been to be in politics. As a matter of fact, there’s a lot about politics that I hate.” This isn’t the first time that Dwayne has talked about running for president.
