Can Kamala Harris survive Joe Rogan's unfiltered style, or will it derail her campaign?

The political world and the podcasting universe may be on the verge of a colossal collision! Kamala Harris, the sitting U.S. Vice President, is reportedly considering an appearance on Joe Rogan’s wildly popular podcast. This possibility has sent fans—and critics—into a frenzy, sparking speculation and plenty of online chatter.

According to a recent post shared on X by Leading Report, “Kamala Harris is reportedly considering appearing on Joe Rogan’s podcast, per Reuters.” But considering is not committing, and fans have their doubts. However, she’s not the only name in the presidential race who’s now looking to make a stop at the JRE studio.

Recently, while talking to Kyle Forgeard of the NELK Boys, Donald Trump dropped a massive bombshell! What did he say? The former POTUS when asked about sitting down with Rogan stated, “Oh sure! I would. I mean, I think I’m doing it…”

The revelation is surprising considering the fact that in his conversation with Lex Fridman, Trump had previously stated, “I think he’s good at what he does, but I don’t know about doing his podcast.” Now, with the situation seemingly changed, the question remains, could Harris, with her political polish, handle Rogan’s freewheeling, conversational style? Here’s a look at what the netizens had to say.

Fan opinion split down the middle with news of Joe Rogan and Kamala Harris’s podcast

Unlike traditional interviews, Joe Rogan’s podcast is a wild ride with no pre-set destination. He doesn’t do rehearsed questions or polished soundbites. His discussions are long, meandering, and often unpredictable. As such, the fans seem to think that Kamala Harris might not be suited to the platform!

What’s your perspective on:

Can Kamala Harris survive Joe Rogan's unfiltered style, or will it derail her campaign?

Have an interesting take?

“She’s already tried to, but Joe won’t do it because she wants the questions beforehand. Joe doesn’t do interviews, he does podcasts.”

The report has also sparked concerns about the podcast appearance negatively affecting her ongoing election campaign for some fans. 

“This would end her campaign”

However, Joe Rogan has recently been full of praise for Harris and her team. In a conversation with Tom Segura on the JRE episode #2202 he stated, “Whatever they’re doing, whoever’s writing those speeches and coaching her, she’s nailing it.”

Others re-iterated the fact that the very nature of Rogan’s show demands authenticity, something that could either help or hurt Harris. Could she handle a conversation that swings from policy talk to wild subjects like aliens or psychedelics?

“His format is conversational. She couldn’t do it”

Of course, this report also immediately drew comparisons by the fans to Donald Trump’s savvy use of media, particularly podcasts, to connect with voters. The former POTUS has been appearing on a lot of massive podcasts recently and despite his initial apprehensions about the JRE, recently indicated that he would be open to stepping into Rogan’s studio as well!

“Copying Trump again.”

In the unpredictable world of The Joe Rogan Experience, anything can happen—and that’s what makes this potential appearance so intriguing. As such, others are crossing their fingers, hoping for an epic conversation.

“This would be so awesome.”

To wrap things up, love him or hate him, Joe Rogan has an undeniable influence. His podcast reaches millions of people across the globe, making him one of the most influential voices in modern media. As such, the fans are divided due the fact that an appearance on his show could reshape how voters see Kamala Harris—or it could backfire spectacularly. Trump’s appearances on podcasts have seemingly also helped him reach an audience that might not tune into typical political broadcasts. Could Harris be looking to do the same?
