Overview

• In a late September appearance on Variety’s Award Circuit podcast, Johnson responded "we’ll see" when asked if he might run for president.
• He previously told CBS in October 2022 that a 2024 bid was off the table so he could focus on being a father.
• Public interest has persisted, with a 2021 Piplsay poll showing roughly 46% open to supporting him and Polymarket trading in August 2025 briefly ranking him ahead of Kamala Harris for 2028 before both settled near 4%, behind Gavin Newsom, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Pete Buttigieg.
• Media reports say multiple political parties have approached him about running, yet he has made no commitments or moves toward a campaign.
• After endorsing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in 2020, Johnson later said he would stop making public endorsements to avoid adding to political division.
