During a promotion for the latest installment of his immensely popular show, "The Joe Rogan Experience," which featured an interview with billionaire and Trump supporter Elon Musk, Rogan announced his support. On social media, Rogan praised Musk's defense of Trump, stating, "Elon Musk presents what I believe to be the strongest argument for Trump, and I find myself in agreement at every point. For the record, yes, that’s an endorsement of Trump."

Known for his forthright, assertive style and critique of political correctness, Rogan, a former mixed martial arts commentator, has cultivated a large following, particularly among male listeners—a key voter demographic for Trump. Trump himself appeared on Rogan's podcast last month for a discussion that lasted nearly three hours.

Reacting to the endorsement, Trump, who is currently in a dead heat with Democratic candidate Kamala Harris according to polls, expressed his gratitude at a rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania—a pivotal battleground state. "It just came over the wires that Joe Rogan has endorsed me. He's not known for doing endorsements, but he made an exception. I just want to extend my thanks to Joe Rogan—that's fantastic," Trump remarked.

Conversely, Kamala Harris, who reportedly engaged in preliminary talks to appear on Rogan's podcast, has yet to participate in an interview, leaving a potential opportunity on the table as the election approaches.
