The 2024 Presidential election results have given Joe Rogan a lot to laugh about. After all, Donald Trump, whom he endorsed, was elected in a landslide and has continued his wildly entertaining streak which has amused the UFC commentator. The latest of these moments came as President-elect Trump visited the White House to meet with outgoing President Joe Biden and discuss the transition.
A picture of Biden giving a huge smile to the camera, with Trump sitting by his side, has gone viral, and Rogan finds it hysterical. The outgoing President was likely smiling to keep up appearances, but Rogan thought there was a more extensive reason behind it- Biden wanted Trump to win. “You know one of my f***ing favorite things of this whole election cycle was yesterday when Biden and Trump sat down in the White House. Biden voted for Trump I guarantee it, I f***ing guarantee it,” Rogan said on the latest episode (#2230) of his JRE podcast with guest Evan Hafer.

The UFC commentator recalled how uncomfortable and awkward then-President Barack Obama was after Trump won the Presidential election for the first time. Biden, however, was all smiles, which Rogan took as definitive evidence that he had in fact voted for Trump, perhaps upset at being pushed out of the 2024 Presidential election for his VP, Kamala Harris.
“I never saw that dude so happy in his f***ing life. He lost, his party lost [and] he was happy. When Obama had to shake hands with Trump and do the whole transition thing, Obama looked like ‘Jesus Christ.’ Look at his f***ing smile, dude… That’s like when your kid gets married,” he added on the same JRE episode.
There are, of course, no pictures of Trump meeting with Biden in 2020, when the roles were reversed since the President-elect threw a hissy fit after losing that election and refused to invite Biden to the White House for transition talks. While Rogan was more than happy to throw his weight behind Trump, the UFC commentator has surprisingly retained his previous political leaning.

Joe Rogan explains his political leaning
What’s your perspective on:
Did Biden's smile really mean he wanted Trump to win, or is Rogan just stirring the pot?
Have an interesting take?
Despite his endorsement of the right-wing Donald Trump, Joe Rogan has revealed that he is still on the left curve of affairs. Speaking to Jeff Dye on his podcast (JRE #2229), the UFC commentator revealed that as far as social issues are concerned, he is still quite liberal. The JRE host, of course, had famously endorsed Democratic socialist candidate Bernie Sanders in the 2020 Democratic Presidential Primaries.
“If someone comes along from the left that is an objective sensible person that’s making sense on, like immigration, foreign policy, then I’m still left. I’m still the same person. Socially, I’m left on almost everything,” Rogan revealed.

Of course, Rogan has always been outspoken in his left-liberal views on certain social issues such as abortion, racial harmony, and gay marriage. Even on certain economic issues like universal healthcare, Rogan is decidedly left-wing. the podcast host, however, has issues with things like cancel culture, the COVID-19 lockdowns, and mandates, which some felt had seen him shift decidedly towards the right.
However, it seems like Rogan is still holding firmly to left-wing social liberalism. What do you think about Joe Rogan’s reaction to the Trump-Biden meeting?
