Joe Rogan endorses Donald Trump for president on eve of US election

Popular podcaster Joe Rogan, who recently interviewed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for nearly three hours, said on Monday he has endorsed the former president in the race to the White House.

Trump faces Democratic Vice-President Kamala Harris in the November 5 U.S. election in what polls show to be a tight race. Harris has got multiple celebrity endorsements.

“For the record, yes, that’s an endorsement of Trump,” Rogan said on X while posting a clip of his interview with billionaire Elon Musk, who has also endorsed Trump. Rogan said in his post that Musk made the “most compelling case for Trump”.

Trump quickly welcomed the news.

“It just came over the wires that Joe Rogan just endorsed me,” Trump told a rally in Pittsburgh, in the key swing state of Pennsylvania.

“He’s not a person that does endorsements, but he did an endorsement. So I just want to thank Joe Rogan – that’s fantastic,” said Trump.
