Kamala Harris Regrets Missing Joe Rogan Podcast Opportunity During 2024 Campaign

Kamala Harris told Steven Bartlett on Diary of a CEO that she regrets not appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience during her 2024 presidential campaign and that she had wanted to do the show, calling podcasting a powerful way to reach people. She said advisers warned it wouldn’t be “productive” because Rogan was seen as pro‑Trump, but she argued she could still make her case to his listeners as she did on Fox News. Authors of Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House allege Rogan promised Harris a slot but gave it to Donald Trump, while Rogan has maintained Harris’s team never agreed and at one point sought to have him travel to Washington for an interview. The dispute comes after Trump’s lengthy Rogan episode, which drew tens of millions of YouTube views, and Harris said scheduling “games” and other factors ultimately prevented her appearance. News outlets report conflicting accounts from Harris’s camp, Rogan’s team and book authors, leaving the precise reasons for the missed interview contested.
