Joe Rogan clapped back after Kamala Harris’ campaign claimed he sabotaged interview negotiations in favor of Donald Trump. He thinks they’re just trying to cover their tracks.
A new book, Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House, detailed how Harris’ team struggled to book her on The Joe Rogan Experience before the 2024 election.
The campaign accused Rogan’s team of making things difficult. They claimed he refused to meet on Oct. 25 because it was his "personal day." Later, they found out he interviewed Trump that same day.
Rogan shut that down on his podcast. He said Harris’ team never actually committed to doing the interview.
"We have all the receipts," Rogan said. "This whole idea that we f---ed her over for Trump—incorrect, just not true."
He also called out the claim that he was tough to work with. Harris’ team, he said, had their own set of strict demands.
"They wanted a stenographer. They wanted staff in the room," Rogan said. "Trump was just here alone. Just me, him, and Jamie. That’s it. For three hours."
Rogan suspected this was all about damage control. Maybe they regretted not doing the show, especially after Trump’s interview went viral.
"I think it’s someone trying to cover their a--," Rogan said. "If she won over the ‘young male vote,’ things could have been different."
In the end, Rogan gave a last-minute endorsement of Trump before the election.
