As Donald Trump prepares to appear on The Joe Rogan Experience, the interview has garnered significant attention. The former president’s upcoming appearance on Rogan’s podcast, just days before the 2024 election, is seen as a strategic move to engage young male voters. With Rogan’s large audience, primarily men aged 18-34, the interview could impact voter sentiment.
Here’s a detailed look at why Trump is joining Rogan’s podcast and the context surrounding this appearance.
When will Donald Trump go on Joe Rogan’s podcast?
Donald Trump will appear on Joe Rogan’s podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, on October 25, 2024, just under two weeks before the presidential election.
The Trump campaign aims to engage young male voters, a demographic where Rogan wields significant influence. Joe Rogan confirmed the upcoming interview on his X (formerly Twitter) account on October 22.
The Trump campaign has been targeting male-dominated platforms in recent months, with the former president appearing on shows hosted by Theo Von, the Nelk Boys, and Logan Paul. Rogan, known for his large male listener base, has more than 14 million Spotify followers and 17.5 million YouTube subscribers. A YouGov poll shows that 81% of Rogan’s audience is male, making it a crucial platform for reaching young men aged 18-34.
Trump and Rogan have had a complicated history. In June, Trump criticized Rogan after he called both political parties manipulative, except for Robert Kennedy Jr. Since then, their relationship has improved. Kennedy suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed Trump. This endorsement increased the likelihood of Trump appearing on Rogan’s podcast.
Rogan plans to cover Trump’s experiences in office during the interview to understand the realities of being president compared to public perception. The episode will likely attract significant attention from both Trump supporters and critics.
As the election nears, both Trump and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris are using popular media platforms to reach younger voters. Rumors suggest that Harris is also in talks to appear on Rogan’s podcast.
