On the eve of a closely contested US presidential election, Joe Rogan, host of the popular Joe Rogan Experience podcast, endorsed Republican candidate Donald Trump. The endorsement came during a promotion for his latest podcast episode, featuring billionaire Trump backer Elon Musk.
Rogan stated that Musk presented the most compelling case for Trump, adding, “I agree with him every step of the way.” “For the record, yes, that’s an endorsement of Trump,” he added.
Rogan’s support was promptly welcomed by Trump, currently in a tight race against Democratic opponent Kamala Harris. Trump told a crowd in Pennsylvania, “Joe Rogan just endorsed me. He’s not a person that does endorsements, but he did an endorsement. So I just want to thank Joe Rogan — that’s fantastic.”
Although Harris reportedly explored a potential appearance on Rogan’s podcast, the interview did not materialise. Rogan’s influence is particularly strong among male voters, a key demographic for Trump, adding last-minute momentum to the Republican campaign.
