Kamala Harris’s recent choice to skip Joe Rogan’s podcast has people talking. Rogan’s platform has massive reach, and after Donald Trump’s episode drew over 37 million views, it’s clear that showing up can create huge momentum. Harris’s campaign, however, didn’t want to risk an unfiltered, unscripted chat that could go anywhere. Critics feel Harris may have missed a prime chance to connect with Rogan’s audience—young, politically curious, and often skeptical of mainstream media. Could this cost her in the 2024 race? Many think so, as Rogan’s listeners could have been a perfect crowd to engage.
