After Johnson refused to endorse Biden for the 2024 election, netizens rallied to weigh in on his decision as he expressed a shift in his political stance.

"I wasn’t sure if he was saying he wasn’t voting for Biden or wasn’t going to use his influence to encourage anyone to vote for a specific candidate. But either way, I feel like the winds are changing in Hollywood. Even they can’t deny it anymore. #Trump2024," a user opined.

"It sounds more like he doesn’t feel like he should be involved in politics not that he’s going to vote any differently," one user tweeted.
