Renowned podcast host Joe Rogan formally endorsed Donald Trump just before the election, a development that Trump’s team quickly celebrated as a significant victory in the closing moments of their campaign.
On Monday, Rogan launched his latest podcast, which includes a two-and-a-half-hour interview with billionaire X owner and prominent Trump supporter Elon Musk. Following the release, Rogan shared the news on X:

“The great and powerful @elonmusk. If it wasn’t for him we’d be f**ked. He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you’ll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way.”
“For the record, yes, that’s an endorsement of Trump. Enjoy the podcast,” he added.
The endorsement follows Rogan’s recent interview with Trump on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” a highly anticipated appearance that the Trump campaign had been planning for months.
This interview was seen by Trump’s advisers as a key component of their media strategy aimed at reaching young men and low-propensity voters by securing podcast appearances that resonate with this demographic.
As Rogan made his endorsement, Trump was in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at one of his final rallies, where he quickly highlighted the significance of the announcement.
“It just came over the wires that Joe Rogan just endorsed me, is that great. Thank you, Joe. That’s so nice. And he doesn’t do that, he doesn’t do that stuff,” Trump said.
Trump said, “And he tends to be a little bit more liberal than some of the people in this room.”
Last week, Rogan posted on X that he had declined an offer from Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign to do an interview.
“Also, for the record the Harris campaign has not passed on doing the podcast. They offered a date for Tuesday, but I would have had to travel to her and they only wanted to do an hour. I strongly feel the best way to do it is in the studio in Austin,” Rogan said. “My sincere wish is to just have a nice conversation and get to know her as a human being. I really hope we can make it happen.”
