"Yes, I’m endorsing Donald Trump," Rogan posted on social media platform X on November 4, along with a video interview featuring Elon Musk, who is also a Trump supporter.
Trump welcomed Rogan’s endorsement, saying, "He’s not the type to openly back a candidate, but he chose me. I just want to thank Rogan. It’s fantastic," during a rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Rogan had previously conducted a nearly three-hour interview with Trump in late October, which aired on YouTube and Spotify, garnering over 45 million views on YouTube. In August, Trump had criticized Rogan on Truth Social after Rogan praised independent candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. However, after Kennedy dropped out and endorsed Trump, the former president referred to Rogan as a "good man."
Both Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris have been using traditional rallies and media interviews as well as podcast appearances to reach voters. Rogan’s podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, has 14.5 million followers on Spotify and ranks as the platform’s most popular show. Rogan also has a massive following on Instagram and YouTube, with 19 million and 18 million followers, respectively.
A YouGov poll last year found that 81% of Rogan’s listeners are male, and 56% are under 35, demographics that tend to favor Trump over Harris. Harris’s team had contacted Rogan’s show to explore a potential appearance, but her campaign later announced she would not be joining his podcast.
Rogan joins other celebrities like Elon Musk and wrestler Hulk Hogan in supporting Trump, while Harris has received endorsements from liberal figures such as basketball star LeBron James and singers Beyoncé and Taylor Swift.
