After days of speculation, the final verdict is finally in, and former President Donald Trump is all set to be a part of the Joe Rogan Experience ahead of election day. The Republican candidate will be recording an interview with the UFC host at Joe Rogan‘s Texas studio on Friday. This news sure came as a shocker to many. Especially since it was Kamala Harris who was seemingly to be in talks with the podcast host for more than a week now. However, the businessman swooped in at the last minute to turn the tide.

Both candidates had been giving their best efforts to appeal to the demographic made up of young men. Although it is Trump who is enjoying their majority support as per recent polls. And now, with this appearance, things will only get better for the former POTUS. But what about Kamala Harris? Will she still be a part of the podcast even after Trump confirmed his appearance?

It seems like the answer is yes. As we said before, Trump enjoys the majority voter share among young males. As a result, it is necessary for Harris to still make an appearance on ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ to earn their trust and votes. After all, according to a YouGov poll, the UFC commentator’s show has an audience made up of 81 percent males, with more than 50 percent of them being under 35 years old.

And now that Harris made massive headlines after being a part of Alex Cooper’s ‘Call Her Daddy’, a show that caters to the young female demographic, it is all but necessary for Harris to be a part of Rogan’s show. Appearing on JRE will also break the current stigma around the Democratic candidate that she only does interviews with media outlets that are perceived to be much more friendly and left-leaning.

This won’t be the first time that the JRE host will have a politician on the show. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was a part of The Joe Rogan Experience #1999, while Vermont senator Bernie Sanders too made his presence known on the podcast back in 2020. And now that even Donald Trump’s appearance has been confirmed on the show, it seems like JRE is the go-to place to win election votes. A true change from the former reign of traditional media. Although Trump’s not keeping himself limited to media appearances for his campaign.

Rarely has a former president of the United States and candidate for re-election to occupy the White House again been seen doing a campaign event at a McDonald’s. Far from giving a speech or greeting diners there, Donald Trump put on his apron and fried potatoes and took orders, almost like another employee. Trump came to the establishment wearing his usual white shirt and tie, which he protected from oil splashes with an apron.

Shortly after they explained to him how to fry potatoes, he got down to work and placed them in bags. The former POTUS also left the kitchen to deliver an order to a family through the drive-thru window. “Gift from Trump,” he told them. The scene is motivated to attack his rival at the polls, Kamala Harris. Harris claimed to have worked at McDonalds in the summer of 1983 in California, during her student days. Trump, however, has refuted her version. He assured that it definitely is a lie made up to win the votes of the working class.

Although Trump has not provided evidence of Harris’ alleged lie, Harris’ team has also not shown any evidence of that summer working for the network. Well, it surely looks like Trump is leaving no stone unturned when it comes to campaigning for this election. And now fans cannot wait to see him before a part of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience.’ What do you think? Will Donald Trump be able to gain more votes by the podcast appearance? Let us know in the comments.
