The video announcement also included a brief interview The Rock had with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. While speaking to the pair, The Rock said,

“You guys are both obviously experienced to lead. You’ve done great things. Joe, you’ve had such an incredible career. You’ve led in my opinion, with great compassion, and heart, and drive, but also soul. You and I talked about that in the past and how important soul is.”

The Rock also complimented Kamala Harris as being “smart and tough”. He says,

“I’ve seen you in those hearings and in my opinion you are a certified bad***.”

The now viral video has already received 6.9 million views on Twitter. While some fans are supportive of The Rock’s endorsement, many of his fans strongly disapprove.
