Liberals have been disheartened after it emerged that Donald Trump’s interview with Joe Rogan racked up a staggering 17 million views on YouTube in less than 24 hours.
The three-hour meeting covered a wide range of topics, including UFOs, the John F. Kennedy assassination files, the border and healthy eating in America.
As soon as the episode was released shortly after 10 pm ET on Friday night, viewing numbers skyrocketed with 300,000 in the first 30 minutes.
By comparison, Kamala Harris’ appearance on the Call her Daddy podcast with Alex Cooper has logged just 685,000 views in the two weeks since it was posted.
The vice president was also scheduled to be interviewed by Rogan, but had to withdraw due to scheduling conflicts, a spokesperson said.
Liberals have been disheartened after it emerged that Donald Trump’s interview with Joe Rogan racked up a staggering 17 million views on YouTube in less than 24 hours.
The former president sat down with Rogan and talked about UFOs, the John F. Kennedy assassination files, the border and healthy food in the US, among other topics.
However, since details of Trump’s qualifications emerged, many liberals have begun urging Harris to sit down with the popular podcast host.
‘I’m devil’s advocate, of course, but Kamala Harris is still with Joe Rogan. The number one podcast in America,” one person wrote on X.
‘You have to be a president for all people. Donald Trump is currently sounding out Joe Rogan’s podcast.
‘Get on Joe Rogan, please Kamala Harris, show everyone what an adult presidential candidate looks and sounds like!’ Another added.
“He’ll probably have over 30 million views on Joe Rogan’s podcast before the end of the night,” one person mused.
“Go to Joe Rogan’s podcast,” one Democrat tweeted at the vice president. “Largest podcast audience ever…and Trump looked and sounded ridiculous last night.”
‘Rogan is quite fair and level-headed. It would be a good look. Hillary made a mistake by not continuing with Stern in 2016. She admitted it herself. DO IT.’
Both candidates’ podcast appearances are part of a strategy to use non-traditional media to reach more voters.

Liberals have now been pleading with the vice president to sit down with Rogan after she previously declined an invitation due to scheduling conflicts.
But Democrats fear that Trump has done so much more successfully than his opponent.
By appearing on Rogan’s podcast, Trump was able to appeal directly to his 81 percent male listeners, the majority of whom are under 35 years old.
Harris has been struggling to court this demographic, according to a recent poll.
A USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll put Trump in the lead among men 53 percent to 37 percent, while Harris’ lead among women is 53 percent to 36 percent.
