Podcaster and UFC commentator Joe Rogan said Vice President Kamala Harris is “doing a great job” on the campaign trail and praised the moment she put rival Donald Trump on the spot during last week’s presidential debate.
“Whoever’s helping her, whoever’s coaching her, whoever’s the puppet master pulling the strings — you’re doing an incredible job,” he said this week on his popular podcast The Joe Rogan Experience.
Speaking to comedian Tom Segura, Rogan said, “Whatever they do, whoever writes those speeches… coach her. She’s doing a great job.”
Rogan also praised the fact that Harris challenged Trump during last week’s debate, saying that his rallies are boring and that people get up and leave while he’s still talking. He also laughed at the reaction Harris’ comments provoked from Trump.
“He couldn’t help it,” Rogan said, mocking the former president’s own comment that he has “the best audience.”

Rogan went on to say that “the difference in that debate was not a difference in who would do the best policy, who would be better for the country. The difference in the debate, in my view, was who was better prepared.”
Trump has not yet responded to Rogan’s comments, after the host said last month that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was the only candidate who “made sense to him.”
Trump wrote about this on Truth Social: ‘I wonder how hard Joe Rogan will be booed the next time he steps into the UFC ring???’
Rogan’s comments come after recent polls showed Harris with a five-point lead over Trump among registered voters following last week’s presidential debate.
The two candidates met for the first time Tuesday during the ABC News debate in Philadelphia and exchanged words for more than an hour and a half about abortion, the economy and foreign policy.

A poll by DailyMail.com found that Harris won the debate and appeared the most presidential, while Trump was considered the most aggressive.
After publicly suppressing calls for another debate with the vice president, Trump unequivocally rejected the idea on Thursday.
“When a boxer loses a fight, the first words he says are, ‘I WANT A REMATCH.’ Polls clearly show that I won Tuesday night’s debate against Comrade Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate from the far left, and she immediately called for a second debate,” Trump wrote.
“They and Crooked Joe have destroyed our country, with millions of criminals and mentally ill people pouring into the United States, totally unchecked and uncontrolled, and with inflation that is bankrupting our middle class,” he added.
The former president continued: “Everybody knows this, and all the other problems that Kamala and Joe have caused. It was discussed extensively in the first debate with Joe and the second debate with Comrade Harris.”
“KAMALA NEEDS TO FOCUS ON WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST NEARLY FOUR YEARS. THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!” Trump concluded.
