The Joe Rogan Experience
Popular podcast host Joe Rogan has officially endorsed Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election, making his announcement on November 5th through social media platform X3.
The Endorsement
Rogan’s endorsement came after interviewing Elon Musk on his show “The Joe Rogan Experience.” He credited Musk with presenting “the most compelling case for Trump,” stating that he agreed with Musk’s arguments “every step of the way”2.
Background and Impact
This endorsement represents a significant shift for Rogan, who previously:
- Had expressed support for Bernie Sanders in the past
- Labeled Trump as “an existential threat to democracy” as recently as 2022
- Supported Robert F. Kennedy Jr. earlier in this election cycle1
Significance
The endorsement carries particular weight due to Rogan’s substantial audience:
- Over 18 million followers on YouTube
- More than 14 million followers on Spotify
- Approximately 80% male audience, with half aged 18-341
Trump welcomed the endorsement, calling it “great” news and referring to Rogan as “the biggest there is”2. The Trump campaign quickly capitalized on the endorsement by circulating fundraising emails2.
