(TheIndependentStar.com) – In a bombshell move right before Election Day, influential podcaster Joe Rogan officially endorsed GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump for the 2024 election.
Rogan’s endorsement came after a significant conversation with tech mogul Elon Musk, who made a strong case for supporting Trump.
The popular podcast host took to social media to promote his interview with Musk, firmly stating, “For the record, yes, that’s an endorsement of Trump.”
Given Rogan’s massive influence and reach, the endorsement’s impact cannot be overstated.
His podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience,” is Spotify’s top-rated show, with millions of followers. Its audience is mainly male and spans various demographics.
Trump, who has never been one to miss an opportunity, quickly capitalized on this endorsement during a rally in Pittsburgh.
The Republican told the crowd, “It just came over the wires that Joe Rogan just endorsed me. Is that true? Thank you, Joe. That’s so nice. And he doesn’t do that.”
“He’s the biggest there is. Somebody said the biggest beyond anybody in a long time,” Trump added.
Rogan’s endorsement is particularly noteworthy as it comes at a time when controversy surrounds Elon Musk’s America PAC.
The PAC has been running a $1 million-a-day voter sweepstakes, which has drawn legal scrutiny.
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has filed a lawsuit against Musk and America PAC, claiming trade and consumer protection laws violations.
Rogan’s podcast episode featuring Trump has already received an astounding 45 million views on YouTube.
This endorsement could potentially sway millions of voters, especially among Rogan’s dedicated fanbase.
Rogan’s endorsement adds significant weight to Trump’s campaign, potentially attracting voters who may have been on the fence or typically less engaged in politics.
This endorsement also highlights the growing influence of non-traditional media figures in shaping the political landscape.
Rogan has faced controversy in the past for his views on topics like COVID-19 and his choice of guests but has now positioned himself as a major player in the political arena.
