Has Joe Rogan become the most sought-after interviewer this election cycle?

In the latest plot twist as the election looms, podcaster Joe Rogan appears to have emerged as the most sought-after interviewer for both presidential campaigns as they seek to bolster male voters.

According to Reuters, Vice President Kamala Harris can venture into unknown territory with one performance The Joe Rogan Experience. Appearing on the popular podcast would continue the campaign's recent strategy of familiarizing non-traditional news consumers with Harris' agenda. Rogan's show has a predominantly male audience, which the campaign aggressively courts in November.

It appears both 2024 presidential candidates are vying for the podcast's reach, as male voters have become one of the most contentious demographics this election season. While an interview has not yet been confirmed, sources told Reuters that Harris' campaign met with Rogan's team this week to discuss a possible sit-in session. A spokesperson for the campaign did not immediately respond to Vanity Fair's request for comment. In the meantime, Donald Trump has also indicated that his campaign is working on scheduling an appearance The Joe Rogan Experience. In an appearance on Monday's Nelk Boys podcast, Full shippingWhen asked if he would appear on Rogan's show, Trump suggested that a plan was already in the works and said, “I think I'll actually do it.”

In recent weeks, Trump has appeared on podcasts similar to Rogan's program, including Last weekend with Theo Von And Andrew Schulz' Flagrant with Akaash Singh. These interviews are often free-flowing, allowing Trump to score some viral sound bites that aren't limited to an ever-shrinking television news audience.

If the interview goes ahead, Harris' appearance on Rogan's show would likely be her first appearance on a show with a predominantly male fan base. However, she is no stranger to the podcast format, having previously appeared on Alex Coopers Call her dad last week, which boasted a huge female audience. Harris also recently appeared on Howard Sterns show.

The changing media strategy of the two current presidential campaigns signals the continuation of a fragmented media environment and risk aversion in both campaigns, ultimately pushing politicians to reach voters on non-traditional platforms to effectively convey their message.
