Joe Rogan effusively praises Harris’s debate performance against Trump: ‘She’s nailing it’

Podcaster Joe Rogan, known for hosting a wide range of guests including those on the right wing, heaped unexpected praise on the Kamala Harris campaign and the vice president’s performance in last week’s debate against Donald Trump.

“Whoever’s helping her, whoever’s coaching her, whoever’s the puppet master running the strings—you did a f***ing amazing job,” Rogan said on an episode released Monday, recorded just after the debate. “They did an amazing job, from the moment Biden drops out, forcing Biden to drop out.

During the September 11 episode, recorded with comic Tom Segura, Rogan compared Harris’s debate performance to a skilled martial artist trapping their opponent and suggested Trump was poorly prepared, mocking the former president’s rants about crowd size and racist conspiracy theories about Haitians in Ohio.

“He’s not working with a team,” Rogan said. “I know he’s doing mock debates. He did one with Tulsi Gabbard. Someone needs to tell him, you’ve got these tiny little windows, and you should have all the words ready for those windows. There should be no repeating things.”

The podcaster, who has an audience of at least 14 million people, went on to suggest Trump was “funny like a comic,” but said that’s not a quality all voters want in a president.

“We don’t necessarily want that as the guy with his finger on the button, that’s all it is,” Rogan said. “That’s the thing that freaks people out.”

The Independent has contacted the Trump campaign for comment.

Regarding the 2024 election, Rogan has praised Robert F Kennedy, Jr, though he said it wasn’t a formal endorsement.
