Joe Rogan endorses Trump on eve of election, targets young male voters

In a last-minute move just hours before Election Day, influential podcaster Joe Rogan has thrown his support behind Donald Trump, a gesture likely to resonate with young male voters.

In a social media post Monday night, Rogan—host of the widely popular The Joe Rogan Experience—shared insights from his recent guest, Elon Musk, who made a “compelling” case for Trump’s presidency. “The great and powerful Elon Musk. If it wasn’t for him we’d be f***ed,” Rogan stated on Musk’s platform X, formerly known as Twitter. “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. Enjoy the podcast.”

The endorsement comes as Trump rallies supporters in Michigan, where he expressed gratitude for Rogan’s backing during his final campaign stop. “Oh wow, I have some more big news. I’m just getting this right now,” Trump announced, visibly pleased. “It just came over the wires that Joe Rogan endorsed me. Thank you, Joe! That’s so nice.”

At 57, Rogan has established himself as a powerful voice in media, having secured a landmark $100 million exclusive deal with Spotify in 2020. His audience is predominantly male, with a notable segment leaning conservative. Polling indicates stronger support for Trump among men, particularly those aged 18 to 29, making Rogan’s endorsement a strategic boon for the former president as they head into the final hours of the election.
