    Topline

    Both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are in talks to appear on the top-ranked “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast in the waning days of the presidential campaign, according to reports, as both look to broaden their appeal to young men. although Rogan has made scathing comments about them.

    Key facts

    In a July interview with political commentator Michael Malice, Rogan called Harris “the worst” and an unpopular vice president, said he was bothered to suddenly see her as a “hero” and “solution,” and wondered if she was medicated with anti-anxiety drugs for “disengaged wanderings,” but still said he thinks she will win the presidency because people think she is a stronger alternative than Trump.

    In a September interview with comedian Tom Segura, Rogan said, “Whoever is coaching her, whoever is the puppeteer calling the shots” is doing “a damn great job.”

    In 2022, Rogan told podcaster Lex Fridman that he is “not a Trump supporter in any way, shape or form” and has “had the opportunity to have him on my show more than once,” but said each time no because he didn’t. want to help him, explaining that his show can “revitalize and rehabilitate” their public image in a “shocking way.”

    The ‘Joe Rogan Experience’ never hosted Trump on the podcast, and Rogan has been outspoken about the candidate, calling Trump a “polarizing figure” and “existential threat to democracy,” though Rogan – a staunch defender of free speech – did that too. defended Trump supporters and criticized Trump’s portrayal online.

    Both candidates have decided to forego traditional media interviews and instead target a specific (and large) niche audience through popular podcasts.

    Rogan, whose podcast is the largest in the U.S., is targeting a large audience of young men — including a large black audience — a coveted demographic for both candidates.

    Harris visited host Alex Cooper on the podcast “Call Her Daddy,” routinely ranked as Spotify’s second biggest podcast behind Rogan’s and one of the 10 most popular podcasts for women, according to Edison Research. Cooper said the podcast has a “very mixed” political audience and typically doesn’t discuss politics with celebrity guests like Miley Cyrus or Post Malone.

    Important background

    On Tuesday, Reuters reported that Harris’ campaign has been in touch with Rogan’s team and has added a new popular podcast to its media blitz in the final days before the election. An interview with Rogan could boost Harris’ campaign as she seeks to appeal to more male voters, a clear campaign goal. Trump has said he plans to appear on the podcast and revealed in an interview with the “Nelk Boys” podcast last week that he has considered the move. The Twitter account for the “Joe Rogan Experience” has also hinted that Trump may be on the show, posting daily articles about Trump possibly being on the show and asking next Sunday on should be a guest. Rogan, who stated that he was not politically affiliated with the Republican Party, said in early August that he had won Robert F. Kennedy Jr. liked as a person and as a candidate, although he did not endorse his presidential bid. In 2020, the podcaster shared his appreciation for Bernie Sanders and later said he would rather vote for Trump than President Joe Biden. He revealed on his show that he voted for Libertarian candidate Jo Jorgenson in 2020. Rogan has often been criticized for the conversations he hosts on his show, which often provide a platform for far-right commentators and potentially dangerous conspiracy theorists.
