Trump's podcast with Joe Rogan is part of Barron's strategy to help his dad win over younger voters
AUSTIN, TEXAS: Donald Trump made a high-profile podcast appearance in Austin, Texas, on Friday, October 25, as part of his campaign. The 78-year-old was a guest on an episode of Joe Rogan's podcast, 'The Joe Rogan Experience'.
Moving away from the television-centric approach of his 2016 campaign, Trump has now adopted podcasts as a key platform, with reports indicating that his son Barron Trump, now a teenager, is the brains behind this strategic shift.
Barron Trump introduces Donald Trump to podcasting as a strategic move to engage younger voters
Prior to his appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast, it was Barron Trump, the youngest of Donald Trump's three sons, who first introduced the 78-year-old to the podcasting medium, according to a source close to Trump, as reported by ABC News.
According to the source, YouTuber and wrestler Logan Paul was on Barron's mind, and his podcast 'Impaulsive' was the first to feature Trump back in June.
This initiative is part of Trump's strategy to engage younger voters by focusing on issues like employment, economic stability, border security, and public safety—topics that resonate with those building their careers or starting families.
Recently, Trump has appeared on several podcasts, leveraging the viewership statistics on YouTube, where many podcasts post video content. This approach allows him to reach a broad audience through this platform.
Trump's interview on Adin Ross' show has garnered over 2.6 million views since August 5, while his appearance on 'This Past Weekend with Theo Von' has amassed more than 14 million views since August 20.
His appearance on 'Flagrant' has racked up over 5.7 million views since October 9, while his discussion on the 'PBD Podcast' has attracted more than 2.7 million views since October 17.
