Trump and Harris should both do Joe Rogan’s podcast

Published October 16, 2024 2:54pm ET



How do you know that the Harris campaign thinks it is losing? Sources claim the vice president is considering an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience. For those keeping score at home, we are talking about the same Joe Rogan who was the focus of the Left’s anger and censorship efforts after he refused to worship at the altar of Anthony Faucism during the COVID-19 pandemic. Recent polls paint the picture of a floundering Harris campaign, but its internal polling must resemble no man’s land at the Battle of the Somme if it is willing to speak to super-Nazi Joe Rogan, with all of his free speech and horse paste.

Vice President Kamala Harris may not have a choice. Former President Donald Trump has confirmed he will appear on Rogan’s podcast, and as her campaign is bleeding support among men for a variety of reasons, her advisers must see Rogan’s audience, which skews 81% male, as their last best hope of winning back men. Rogan’s 14.5 million followers on Spotify and 16.4 million subscribers on YouTube dwarf the audiences of Democrat-friendly cable news networks and radio shows such as The Howard Stern Show, on which Harris appeared recently for a softball interview.
