Joe Rogan endorses Trump after former president, JD Vance appeared on podcast last month

Mega-podcaster Joe Rogan endorsed Donald Trump on the eve of the election, sparking conversation across social media.

In a post promoting his podcast with X owner Elon Musk, Rogan wrote, "The great and powerful @elonmusk... 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."

Rogan's endorsement came after hosting both Trump and Sen. JD Vance on his podcast last month. Trump appeared first for a three-hour episode, followed by Vance later in October. Rogan also invited Vice President Kamala Harris, but her campaign’s conditions—requiring him to travel and limiting the interview to one hour—led him to decline, though he expressed interest in speaking with her in the future.

In the final stretch of the campaign, both Trump and Harris made stops in Texas to court undecided voters. Trump concluded his efforts with a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York, while Harris visited Houston, where she received endorsements from Willie Nelson and Beyoncé.
