Joe Rogan issued a last-minute presidential endorsement after remaining neutral throughout election season. Rogan recently interviewed Trump and invited Harris onto his podcast. Given that The Joe Rogan Experience is the most popular podcast in the world, his endorsement could be a major boon for whoever receives it.
Joe Rogan endorses Donald Trump for president
On Monday, Joe Rogan issued a presidential endorsement for Donald Trump on X alongside the release of the latest episode of The Joe Rogan Experience. This week’s episode featured a two-and-a-half-hour interview with Elon Musk, who has emerged as a major Trump supporter and right-wing figure in the last few years.
According to CNN, Trump acknowledged Rogan’s endorsement while on stage at a rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He stated, “It just came over the wires that Joe Rogan just endorsed me. Is that great? Thank you, Joe. That’s so nice. And he doesn’t do that. He doesn’t do that stuff.” He went on to say about Rogan, “He’s the biggest there is. Somebody said the biggest beyond anybody in a long time.”
Despite being right-leaning, Rogan has remained largely neutral as far declaring support for one candidate or another. He invited both candidates to his show, but turned down an offer from the Harris team last week after disagreeing with their terms. Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance also recently dropped by and spoke with Rogan at length on the podcast.
At one point, it seemed that Rogan was leaning toward supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr. However, when asked, he clarified that despite stating that RFK Jr. was “the only one that makes sense to me,” he wasn’t endorsing him.
Rogan’s Trump endorsement is practically a 180 from his position in the 2020 election. During the last presidential campaign, Rogan endorsed Bernie Sanders, which is about as far away from Trump as you can get politically.
Whether Rogan’s late endorsement helps Trump gain crucial voters in this extremely tight election remains to be seen. Hopefully, we’ll get the results soon.
