Popular podcast host Joe Rogan recently made headlines by officially endorsing Donald Trump on the eve of the election, a move that was quickly embraced by Trump's campaign team as a significant boost in the final hours of their campaign.
Rogan's endorsement came following a recent interview with Elon Musk on his podcast, where he expressed agreement with Musk's views on Trump, stating, 'For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump.'
Trump, in turn, acknowledged and appreciated Rogan's endorsement during a rally in Pittsburgh, highlighting Rogan's typically more liberal stance and the significance of his support.
This endorsement marked a shift in Rogan's previous stance on Trump, as he had previously declined multiple offers to have the former president on his podcast. Rogan had even expressed his lack of interest in supporting Trump, making his endorsement all the more surprising.
The interview between Trump and Rogan was seen as a strategic move by the Trump campaign to target young men and low propensity voters, leveraging Rogan's massive global podcast audience.
Interestingly, Rogan had also recently turned down an offer from Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign for an interview, citing logistical reasons and a preference for a more in-depth conversation in his studio in Austin.
While the Harris campaign chose not to comment on Rogan's decision, his endorsement of Trump has undoubtedly stirred up conversations and reactions across the political spectrum.
