Kamala Harris is reportedly in talks with Joe Rogan about giving an interview on his influential talk show.
The Harris-Walz campaign met with the podcast giant’s team this week, three sources familiar with the matter said. Reuters.
However, no appearance has been confirmed yet. It comes at the same time Donald Trump says he’s already scheduled to be on Rogan’s show.
Kamala Harris’ campaign is reportedly in talks with Joe Rogan’s podcast team to attend an interview on his show, ‘Joe Rogan Experience,’ ahead of Election Day.
‘Joe Rogan has to have you, would you?’ A clip from the ‘Full Send’ podcast released over the weekend shows a host asking the former president.
Trump responds: “Oh, of course I would.” “In fact, I think I am,” Trump continues.
The former president called Rogan a “good guy” who is “well known because of the UFC.”
It appears that Rogan’s team is working with both candidates to try to get them in front of their massive, mostly male audience before people head to the ballots or mail in their votes.
Donald Trump holds a town hall at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center on October 14, 2024 in Oaks, Pennsylvania. His rival, Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris, speaks in the western Pennsylvania city of Erie.
And the opportunity could be big for Harris, who has seen her support decline among male voters as polls show the race between her and Trump narrowing.
After largely avoiding interviews after becoming the Democratic nominee in late July, Harris has been on a media blitz lately.
Last week, he appeared on a special Monday night episode of 60 Minutes.
On Tuesday, he traveled to New York to appear on The View, Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show, and the Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
He also recorded an episode of the popular but controversial Call Her Daddy podcast.

Rogan’s podcast called ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ (JRE) has consistently been the most popular show in the US for years, garnering millions of views from his 13 to 19 million followers, depending on the platform.
Music streaming platform Spotify, which signed Rogan to a deal worth more than $250 million, announced in March that JRE has 14.5 million followers.
Rogan has 13 million followers on X, 19 on Instagram and 17 million on YouTube.
A good majority of them are young men, the exact cohort that Kamala Harris is trying to make inroads into weeks before Election Day on November 5.
Last year, a YouGov survey found that 81 percent of JRE listeners are men and 56 percent are under 35 years old.

Vice President Harris also accepted her first interview with Fox News Channel after dodging hostile media since the start of the campaign.

He is expected to participate between 25 and 30 minutes in the segment that will air 20 days before Election Day.
