Influential podcaster Joe Rogan endorsed former US President Donald Trump in his bid to return to the White House a day before US elections.
The endorsement follows a lengthy, nearly three-hour interview Rogan conducted with Trump in October.
Confirming his support on X (formerly Twitter), Rogan said, “For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump."
The announcement added fuel to an already tightly contested race, with polls indicating a close competition between Trump and Democratic vice president Kamala Harris, who has secured endorsements from several high-profile celebrities.
The October interview covered a broad spectrum of topics, delving into Trump’s reflections on his first presidential term, his transition from business to politics, and even controversial subjects like the 2020 election and a recent assassination attempt.
During the conversation, Trump addressed the alleged assassination attempt and even displayed a scar, stating it was left by a bullet fired by an assailant he referred to as "Crook."
Tech magnate Elon Musk, also a known Trump supporter, made a surprise appearance on Rogan’s podcast to voice his concerns about the Democratic Party. Musk accused the party of spreading misinformation and practicing hypocrisy, adding that the accusations Trump faces are "hoaxes" aimed at undermining his reputation. He compared these tactics to those of authoritarian regimes, aligning his views with Trump’s criticisms of his political opponents.
"The Joe Rogan Experience," which is widely regarded as one of the most influential podcasts globally, boast 14.5 million followers on Spotify and 17.5 million subscribers on YouTube.

If it wasn't for him we'd be fucked. He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way.
For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump.
