Summary

A new book alleges that Kamala Harris was set to appear on Joe Rogan’s podcast during the 2024 campaign but was blocked when Rogan’s team suddenly scheduled Donald Trump instead.

Harris’ team carefully planned a trip to Texas to align with Rogan’s terms, only to be told he was unavailable—only for Trump to secure an interview that same day.

The book claims Elon Musk and UFC CEO Dana White influenced Rogan’s decision.

Harris’ team made a last-minute attempt for an interview, but Rogan declined.

    Most of the missteps were pandering to the right. The brilliant idea was to try to siphon away right wing voters from Trump, which was fucking stupid because she abandoned the Dem base to do so.

    An appearance on Rogan would have done nothing to help her win, because most lefties stopped listening to Rogan years ago.

    And the right is never going to abandon Trump. He lets them say and do the horrible shit that they would otherwise be ejected from society for.
