Joe Rogan revealed on the eve of Election Day that he’s endorsing Donald Trump for president.
The popular podcaster announced the endorsement on X while promoting his Monday interview with Elon Musk.
“If it wasn’t for him we’d be f–ked,” Rogan said of Musk. “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 wrote.
The nonchalant endorsement comes after the podcast host interviewed the former president in an Oct. 25 episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” which has an estimated 14.5 million Spotify followers.
Trump suggested Rogan, 57, should back his presidential campaign during the nearly 3-hour sit-down.
“He gave me the nicest endorsement,” Trump had said, referring to Musk, who endorsed the 45th president shortly after he was nearly assassinated at his Butler, Pa. rally in July.
“You should do the same thing Joe because you cannot be voting for Kamala. Kamala. You’re not a Kamala person. I know you,” Trump told the podcaster.
Rogan finally did that with less than 24 hours before Election Day.
Trump, 78, learned of Rogan’s endorsement at his Pittsburg, Pa. rally Monday night and shared the news with rally-goers.
“I have some more big news now. I’m just getting this right now,” the Republican nominee told his crowd of supporters. “So somebody that’s very, very respected asked me to do his show two weeks ago, and I said, ‘Why not?’”
“And to me, it’s very big because he’s the biggest there is, I guess, in that world by far … And his name is Joe Rogan and he’s never done this before. And it just came over the wires that Joe Rogan just endorsed me,” Trump said.
“That’s so nice. And he doesn’t do that,” he added. “He’s not a person that does endorsements, but he did an endorsement. So I just want to say Joe Rogan, Elon Musk and Megyn [Kelly], thank you very much.”
Rogan’s interview with the Republican nominee has racked up more than 45 million views on YouTube as of late Monday.
Rogan’s podcast which routinely claims the number one spot on Spotify’s top podcasts chart has an overwhelmingly male audience.
