Kamala Harris’ media blitz could come with a Joe Rogan appearance in frantic plan to win over male voters
Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly in talks with podcaster Joe Rogan for an interview on his influential long-form talk show before Election Day.
Harris-Walz campaign officials met with Rogan’s team this week, three sources familiar with the matter said Reuters on Monday.
However, no performance has been confirmed yet.
Oddly enough, the report comes at the same time that Donald Trump says he will already be on Rogan’s show.

“Joe Rogan should hire you, would you?” an excerpt from the “Full Send” podcast posted this weekend shows a host asking the former president.
Trump shoots back: “Oh yes, I certainly would.”
“Actually, I think I do,” Trump continues.
The ex-president called Rogan a “good guy” who is “so famous because of the UFC.”
It appears Rogan’s team is working on both candidates to get them in front of his huge and mostly male audience before people head to the ballots or mail in their votes.

And the odds could be stacked against Harris, who has seen her support among male voters decline as polls show the race between her and Trump narrowing.
After largely avoiding interviews after becoming the Democratic nominee in late July, Harris has found himself in the middle of a media blitz of late.
Last week she appeared on a special Monday night episode of 60 Minutes.
On Tuesday, she traveled to New York to appear on The View, Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show and the Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
She also recorded an episode of the popular but controversial podcast Call Her Daddy.

Rogan’s podcast called “The Joe Rogan Experience” (JRE) has consistently been the most popular show in the U.S. for years, with millions of plays by his roughly 13 to 19 million followers, depending on the platform.
The music streaming platform Spotify, which famously signed Rogan to a deal reportedly 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 large majority of them are young men — the exact cohort Kamala Harris is trying to penetrate weeks before Election Day on November 5.
Last year, a YouGov poll found that 81 percent of JRE listeners are men and 56 percent are under 35.

Vice President Harris has also agreed to her first-ever sit-down interview with Fox News Channel after dodging the unfriendly media since the start of the campaign.
The vice president will be interviewed by Bret Baier in Philadelphia on Wednesday after polls over the weekend showed former President Donald Trump chipped away at her lead.
She is expected to sit for 25 to 30 minutes for the segment that will air 20 days before Election Day.
