The next media stop for Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump could be “The Joe Rogan Experience.” The show is the No. 1 podcast in the country, attracting tens of millions of people.
While appearing on the “Full Send Podcast” hosted by the Nelk Boys, a group of YouTube pranksters turned podcasters, Trump suggested a future stop on Rogan’s program is in the works.
Sources told Reuters that Vice President Kamala Harris could also soon sit down with Rogan. Reuters reports that members of Harris’ campaign met with Rogan’s team but no official appearance has been scheduled.
According to data from Spotify, which inked a reported $250 million deal earlier this year to distribute “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the podcast has 14.5 million followers, almost triple the second most popular program on the platform.
Rogan himself has been outspoken in the past when it comes to both candidates. In 2022, he told another podcast that he was not a Trump supporter and declined opportunities to have him on his show.
In August, Trump called out Rogan on his Truth Social platform, saying the UFC commentator would get booed next time he entered the octagon.
As for Harris, Rogan said she was better prepared for last month’s presidential debate, but later admitted having concerns a Harris presidency would lead to more online censorship.
An appearance on Rogan’s podcast would fall in line with both candidates’ plans to reach young voters.
Former President Trump has recently been a guest on a series of podcasts that cater to a young audience, especially males. Trump has made stops on podcasts hosted by YouTuber Logan Paul, comedian Theo Von and video game streamer Adin Ross.
Harris meanwhile was recently a guest on the podcast “Call Her Daddy” which has a majority female audience. She’ll reach out to Black voters during a town hall appearance Tuesday, Oct. 15, with radio personality and podcaster Charlamagne tha God.
A recent Harvard Youth Poll showed 70% of women under the age of 30 support Harris, while 23% back Trump. For men under 30, 53% said they are likely to vote for Harris while 36% said Trump.
