Joe Rogan shakes up the election with Trump endorsement
Joe Rogan has officially endorsed Donald Trump in the U.S. elections. This endorsement significantly boosts the Republican candidate, as Rogan enjoys a substantial fanbase worldwide, particularly among young men.
Joe Rogan is a UFC commentator and hosts the immensely popular podcast The Joe Rogan Experience. His YouTube channel boasts over 18.2 million subscribers. At the end of October, Trump appeared on the podcast, and the recording garnered over 45 million views within 10 days.
Rogan recently posted on social media to officially endorse the Republican candidate. He mentioned that a conversation with Elon Musk strengthened his decision to support Trump. According to Rogan, Musk "is the most compelling case for Trump you’ll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way."
However, Rogan has not disclosed which specific arguments influenced his decision. He merely wrote that he "expresses his support for Trump."
Trump responded to Rogan's endorsement during a campaign appearance in Pittsburgh. He stated that Rogan is "the biggest possible." He also claimed that Rogan had never supported any presidential candidate before, although that's inaccurate. In 2020, Rogan endorsed Bernie Sanders.
