Popular podcast host picks sides in upcoming White House race
Well-known media figure with millions of followers makes unexpected political choice after lengthy chat with candidate. Decision comes right before next-weeks election day
In a surprising turn-of-events Joe Rogan made his political stance clear on social platform X – backing Donald Trump for next weeks presidential race. The endorsement came after a three-hour-long sit-down with the ex-president that got over 45 million YouTube views
Rogans decision was influenced by Elon Musk who he says presented the best-case for supporting Trump. Its worth noting that just few months ago Trump wasnt too happy with Rogan (who had nice things to say about another candidate) but later called him a “good guy“
The mega-popular podcast host brings serious reach to the table: his show “The Joe Rogan Experience“ leads Spotifys charts with 14‚5 million followers and has strong presence on other platforms. His audience is mostly young men – a key voting group thats shown support for Trump
Both candidates use different ways to reach voters including:
- Traditional rallies
- Media interviews
- Podcast appearances
- Social-media posts
While Kamala Harris team talked about maybe going on Rogans show they decided against it last month. She does have quite a line-up of famous supporters though: LeBron James‚ Meryl Streep‚ Taylor Swift and others are in her corner; Trump has backing from Hulk Hogan and some other celebs
For the record yes thats an endorsement of Trump
