A voter in Arizona told an MSNBC reporter that he was undecided but voted for Donald Trump because Kamala Harris did not go on the Joe Rogan podcast.
Last month, Trump sat down for a three-hour conversation with Rogan on Joe Rogan Experience, garnering over 45 millions views on YouTube. Rogan allegedly invited the vice president to do a separate interview but the campaign declined. The podcast host later said he rejected an offer to interview Harris later that month because he “would have had to travel to her and they only wanted to do an hour.”
Journalist Gadi Schwartz reported live for MSNBC on Tuesday recalling how one voter told him Harris’ decision to not go on the podcast because she “couldn’t talk for an extended period of time.”
Schwart noted that the conversation took place with a voter at Arizona State University in the city of Tempe, where many of the male voters were concerned about “attacks on masculine identity.”
SCHWARTZ: We’ve actually been hearing a lot of talk about the Rogan podcast, Joe Rogan podcast, in fact a little while ago we were talking to two guys. One of them said that he was on the fence until he said when Kamala did not go on the Joe Rogan podcast, that was what influenced his vote. He ended up voting for Trump, but he said that he was open to listening to Kamala on the
podcast. And when she didn’t again, not the not necessarily all the issues, but the fact that he said she didn’t seem like a real person because she couldn’t talk for an extended period of time.
