‘My sincere wish is to just have a nice conversation and get to know her as a human being. I really hope we can make it happen,’ he wrote on X Tuesday
A Kamala Harris sit-down discussion with popular podcaster Joe Rogan is still on the table.
In response to Rogan’s post, Elon Musk wrote: “Good clarification. I would definitely watch that podcast. Hour 2 would be (melting face emoji).”
The Joe Rogan Experience podcast has become an important stop for political candidates seeking to reach voters.
Donald Trump sat down with Rogan last Friday. That conversation has registered about 36 million views on YouTube. They discussed eliminating income tax, mixed martial arts, life on other planets and praise for Robert E. Lee, the Confederate military general who commanded the pro-slavery, losing side of the U.S. Civil War.
Rogan and Trump talked about the possibility of Harris being on the podcast after the former president.
“She was supposed to do it. And she might still do it. I hope she does,” said Rogan, whose show continually tops the global charts on both Apple and Spotify. “I will talk to her like a human being. I would try to have a conversation with her. I think we’d have a fine conversation.”
However, it remains to be seen, says the Guardian, whether the Harris campaign feels it still needs Rogan – who describes himself generally as libertarian – after the furore ignited by a comedian’s insults about Puerto Rico being “a floating island of garbage” at Trump’s New York City rally last week.
That insult has also threatened his support in the crucial 222 Latino corridor in Pennsylvania, so called because of the area code there.
“She should just let Trump whirl in his own juices for the time being and keep moving ahead,” the Democrat strategist Hank Sheinkopf told the Guardian. “She doesn’t gain anything talking with people on the right. There’s nothing to be gained.”
