Joe Rogan is a UFC commentator and the host of the hugely popular podcast "The Joe Rogan Experience." On YouTube, his channel has over 18.2 million subscribers. At the end of October, Trump himself appeared on the podcast, and the recording gained over 45 million views in just 10 days.
Rogan has now posted on social media, officially endorsing the Republican candidate. He said a conversation with Elon Musk reinforced his decision to vote for Trump. According to Rogan, Musk "is the most compelling case for Trump you’ll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way."
However, Rogan did not reveal which specific arguments were crucial. He only mentioned that he "expresses support for Trump."
Trump addressed Rogan's support during a campaign appearance in Pittsburgh. He stated that Rogan is "the biggest possible fan." He also claimed that Rogan had never endorsed any presidential candidate, but that's false. In 2020, Rogan endorsed Bernie Sanders.
