In brief
Podcaster Joe Rogan has officially endorsed Donald Trump for the upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election, influenced by tech mogul Elon Musk. Rogan's backing is crucial as it targets his large young male audience, a group Trump is eager to attract. While Trump has garnered support from prominent figures like Musk, rival Kamala Harris enjoys the backing of major celebrities, including Taylor Swift and Beyoncé.
Rogan's endorsement could greatly impact the election, given his substantial reach with over 18 million YouTube subscribers and more than 14 million Spotify followers. In contrast to Trump's substantial lead with male voters, Harris appeals strongly to female voters. Rogan, who initially expressed hesitance about supporting Trump, cites Musk's compelling argument for the former president as a decisive factor in his decision.
