Podcast host Joe Rogan has turned down an offer from the Harris campaign to record an interview with Kamala Harris due to logistical reasons. Rogan stated that he would have had to travel to meet with Harris and the campaign only wanted to do a one-hour interview. However, Rogan mentioned that the interview is still a possibility.
In a post on X, Rogan clarified that the Harris campaign has not rejected the idea of doing the podcast. He expressed his desire for the interview to take place at his Austin studio, emphasizing his sincere wish to get to know Harris as a human being. The Harris campaign has not provided any immediate response to this development.
“The Joe Rogan Experience” is the largest podcast in the U.S., with a predominantly young and male audience. This demographic is where former President Donald Trump holds a lead over Harris. The Harris campaign has been actively working to gain support from male voters, making an interview with Rogan an opportunity to reach a large audience.
Rogan, known for hosting guests with various ideologies on his show, has interviewed individuals ranging from conspiracy theorists to political figures. Trump’s recent three-hour interview with Rogan in Austin garnered over 37 million views on YouTube. During the interview, Trump discussed the importance of having the attitude of a comedian in politics and expressed regret over some past decisions. He also criticized the hosts of The View.
In his conversation with Rogan, Trump expressed his hope that Harris would agree to be interviewed by Rogan, predicting that it would be an interesting discussion. Rogan assured that they would have a productive conversation if it were to happen.
