Former President Donald Trump is set to record an interview with Joe Rogan for his podcast on Friday, as confirmed by two sources familiar with the plans. The interview is scheduled to take place at Rogan's studio in Austin, Texas, marking Trump's first appearance on Rogan's podcast.
Efforts to secure this interview have been ongoing for months, with Trump campaign officials working diligently towards this goal. The campaign had hoped that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s endorsement would assist in securing the interview, as part of their strategy to reach low-propensity and third-party voters.
For context, Joe Rogan launched his podcast, 'The Joe Rogan Experience,' in 2009. Over the past three years, the podcast has consistently held the number-one spot globally. However, the show has not been without controversy, particularly during the pandemic, when Rogan faced criticism for his skepticism regarding Covid-19.
