Am I happy with the state of America right now? Well, that answer is no. Do I believe we are going to get better? I believe in that, I'm an optimistic guy and I believe we can get better.
The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was one I thought was the best decision for me at that time. And 'I thought back then, when we talk about, hey you know I'm in this position where I have some influence and it's my job then, I felt like that then, it's my job now to exercise my influence and share with – this is who I'm going to endorse.
Am I going to do it again this year? That answer's no.
Johnson said that he thought it resulted in division, and that "tears [him] up in [his] guts back then and now." He continued:
That got me. The takeaway after that, months and months, I realized, that caused division in our country. I realize now going into this election, I will not do that, my goal is to bring this country together.
He said that he was going to keep his politics to himself, and that he trusts the American people and will support who they pick.
"The Rock" also went on to rip into woke and cancel culture.
Not only did The Rock express regret over his 2020 endorsement of Joe Biden this morning in an interview with @willcain, he also slammed "cancel" and "woke" culture.

He ripped into that, indicating he thought that inhibited people, and he said he would be transparent and honest, which he said was very important. "If you ask me something, a real answer is important, a truthful answer is important. And that may get people upset, that may piss people off. That's okay," he said.
Cain asked if Johnson would run for president in the future. Johnson said he wasn't thinking about that right now, he was concentrating on family, so he didn't want to interrupt that and building the businesses he's building.
Interesting interview and movement on his part. He doesn't go into much greater detail, just saying he didn't like the division from his endorsement.
Many people voted for Joe Biden because, maybe, they thought he would bring more order and calm, and the exact opposite has been true. So if they're honest, they see that, and have to acknowledge it. That's why I think we're seeing that flip now that we're seeing in the polls, which more supporting former President Donald Trump than Joe Biden. People can compare both and see the results, and that's not helping Joe Biden.
