Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris could sit down with popular podcaster Joe Rogan for an interview in the final stretch of the U.S. presidential campaign, three sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Monday.
Harris campaign officials met with Rogan’s team this week but an appearance has not been confirmed yet, two of the sources said.
Rogan, who runs the most popular podcast in the United States, has a highly coveted and devoted following that leans young, male and numbers in the tens of millions.
The interview will offer Harris an opportunity to make her case to his followers, as she works to shore up support with male voters and Black men in particular. Numerous public polls suggest Republican nominee Donald Trump could overperform among young men of all races.
On Monday, the vice president released a new set of policy proposals to appeal to Black male voters, and her campaign is ramping up outreach to the typically Democratic voting group.
Her campaign also announced she will sit for an interview with Fox News, whose day-to-day programming is heavy on conservative punditry that often explicitly supports Trump.
On Monday, Trump also indicated he plans to go on Joe Rogan’s podcast before Election Day on Nov. 5.
Trump and Rogan, who also serves as the UFC’s lead commentator, have sparred in the past. As recently as August, Trump took a shot at Rogan on social media platform Truth Social but later called him a “good guy.”
In 2022, Rogan said he is not a Trump supporter and in August said he preferred Robert F. Kennedy Jr., for president. Kennedy has since dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Trump.
The appearance could offer a shot in the arm for Harris and Trump as polls show an incredibly tight race between the two candidates that is expected to come down to the results in seven swing states.
In March, Spotify (SPOT.N), said that “The Joe Rogan Experience” had 14.5 million followers, almost triple the platform’s second most popular program. He also has over 19 million followers on Instagram and 17 million followers on YouTube.
A poll by YouGov last year found that 81% of his listeners are male and 56% are under 35 years old, feeding the perception that he has a direct line to a cohort that polling suggests tends to support Trump over Harris.
Rogan reached a new deal with Spotify earlier this year, estimated to be worth as much as $250 million.
Love you but theres already a thread on this lol
Disregard… this is on UltimateGround… forgot this site mixes up threads
Took me a Minute Too 76 lol , its in its right home now 
her voice is nails on a chalkboard. pass
Well I’m willing to bet against it ever happening. It would be an absolute catastrophe for her unless Joe sold his soul or if Joey Diaz slipped him two stars of death right before the podcast.
Trump on Rogan is more likely, even though Joe said previously that he wouldnt do it.
Her team will very likely give Joe a list of approved questions and topics he can bring up. And limit the time spent to an hour or less. If Joe has any credibility left he will refuse to abide by those rules and it will end up making Kamala look very bad.
Rogan has said time and time again he will not have Trump on, “I don’t want to help him” if I recall.
Adamantly denies having him on. . . But he’ll have Marxist traitor Comrade Kamala on?
Fuck Joe’s midget traitor neck then. I knew there was a reason I never got into his podcast.
You can tell lately that he is voting for trump becuase of RFK
He’s not saying it, but it’s clear.
Most rational people are voting for Trump this time IMO
He should have them both on for a debate the way they should be, not the way they are.
It would change american politics forever. A 4+ hour long form debate with every stone overturned. They both get equal access to his audience at the same time to make their case(s) to 15 million voters, without biased media members talking over them or muting mics or giving 5 minute responses to one candidate and 30 second responses to another. Remove MSM from the equation. Just talk, and talk, and talk, and talk, for hours. The whole unedited thing gets streamed live and then uploaded in its entirety.
It could be what every voting person has wanted since the inception of television, instead of the neutered, controlled, watered down “debates” we all know and hate.
Not that i object - i really dont - but my understanding is the UltimateG is the UG and the OnlyG is the OG, so a thread about politics and podcasts seems out of place on the new UG. Doesnt it? What am i missing.
I dont care. Make another one in the lounge. Just curious what im missing .
that it’s about one of the major figures of mma (rogan) potentially hosting?
I mean, yeah, joe rogan is an mma guy. But it’s a politics thread about the most popular podcast in the world.
Is there a duplicate JRE thread on the ultimateground?
Only that its Rogan Related , Only. Someone had one on the Only also. It is MMA related imo involving Joe
Trump announced two days ago he’s going on Rogan. So Elon probably convinced Joe. It was after that Kamala’s team said they were in talks with Joe to go on. My guess is Trump is on in the next week and then Kamala backs out after Joe refuses to ask a pre approved list of questions.
