Dwayne ’The Rock’ Johnson Surges Past Kamala Harris as 2028 Democratic Frontrunner on Polymarket

Prediction markets are flipping the script on conventional political wisdom—and the numbers don't lie.

The Odds Shift

Polymarket traders are betting big on The Rock's potential White House run, pushing his contract above Harris' in early 2028 Democratic nomination markets. Because apparently nothing says 'serious political analysis' like anonymous crypto degens leveraging stablecoins to predict elections.

Market Mechanics Over Polling

While traditional polls still show Harris leading among party insiders, prediction market liquidity tells a different story. The decentralized platform continues to attract attention as a sentiment gauge that often moves faster than establishment media narratives.

Speculation or Signal?

Some see this as pure meme-driven speculation—others as early market efficiency in action. Either way, it's another reminder that in modern politics, as in crypto, narrative often trumps fundamentals until reality inevitably catches up.

I was asked to run for President

In 2023, Johnson disclosed that multiple parties approached him too see if he would run for U.S. President after a poll showed that 46% of Americans would support his run in the WHITE House.

"That was an interesting poll that happened and I was really moved by that," Johnson said. "I was really blown away and I was really honored. 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," Johnson said on Trevor Noah's new Spotify podcast, What Now?

The Rock, who has described himself as a centrist and political independent, endorsed Joe Biden in the lead-up to the 2020 election but refused to do the same last year.

The actor is not only a Hollywood superstar but also a social media marketing powerhouse, boasting 392 million followers on Instagram. His pro-wrestling career showcased unmatched "promo skills," which could come in handy if he decides to pursue a political campaign.
