LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Joe Rogan praised Vice President Kamala Harris and ridiculed former president Donald Trump in a recent episode of 'The Joe Rogan Experience' podcast.

Speaking with comedian Tom Segura, Rogan highlighted the differences between the two presidential candidates and offered his candid thoughts on the 2024 race for the White House.



 

Joe Rogan's praise for Kamala Harris’ debate performance

During the two-and-a-half-hour podcast episode, Joe Rogan expressed his admiration for Kamala Harris’ debate performance on September 10, commending her team for their behind-the-scenes efforts, according to Newsweek.

“Whoever is helping her, whoever's coaching her, whoever's the puppet master running the strings. They're doing an amazing job,” said Rogan.

He then said that Harris is “nailing it” and referenced a speech where she challenged opponents with the phrase "say it to my face."

The podcast host emphasized that Harris’ ability to navigate tough questions in the debate showed her preparation for the event.

He also noted that she often responded with statements that "sounded real good," even if they did not directly answer the questions posed to her.

Segura chimed in, calling this strategy the hallmark of a "savvy politician."

Rogan insinuated that Trump lacked preparation and teamwork for the event, unlike Harris, who clearly worked with a professional campaign team.

He humorously speculated that the former president's advisors might have warned him against making wild claims, such as his reference to a debunked rumor about Haitian immigrants abducting and eating pet animals in Springfield, Ohio.

Rogan and Segura found particular amusement in Trump’s off-the-cuff remarks, with the podcaster joking that Trump’s team likely told him, "Please don't talk about people eating cats and dogs."

The conversation between the duo also touched on broader issues, including immigration and misinformation.

Trump’s controversial remarks during the debate on Haitian immigrants, despite being debunked, added fuel to the ongoing national debate on immigration policy, one of the concerns for US voters.

Did Joe Rogan endorse Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race?

While Joe Rogan offered substantial praise for Kamala Harris during the podcast episode, he quickly clarified that he has not officially endorsed her or any other presidential candidate.

Despite his positive remarks about the Vice President's debate performance and campaign strategy, Rogan has maintained a neutral stance regarding his political support.

As the conversation shifted to the public’s perception of Harris as a presidential nominee, both Rogan and Segura agreed that while some see her as an effective politician, others remain skeptical of her authenticity.
