Joe Rogan recently hosted GOP nominee and ex-POTUS Donald Trump on his popular podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, after years of disinterest. However, Trump’s opponent in the upcoming presidential election—Kamala Harris—won’t be making an appearance anytime soon.
Recently, Rogan revealed that he has been in negotiations to host Harris, but ultimately backed away after the Democratic presidential nominee made some demands that Rogan felt would hinder the overall quality of the interview.
“They offered a date for Tuesday, but I would have had to travel to her and they only wanted to do an hour. I strongly feel the best way to do it is in the studio in Austin,” Rogan said in a statement on X, adding that the Harris campaign ‘has not passed’ on doing the podcast.
“My sincere wish is to just have a nice conversation and get to know her as a human being. I really hope we can make it happen.”

Donald Trump Scoffs at the Idea of Kamala Harris Appearing on the Joe Rogan Podcast
Meanwhile, Donald Trump sat down for a three-hour in-studio interview with the longtime UFC color commentator. During their conversation, the embattled former president scoffed at the idea of Kamala Harris sitting down for a multi-hour interview.
“Can you imagine Kamala doing this show? She’s be laying on the floor” Trump started. “If she did this kind of an interview with you, I hope she does, because it would be a mess. She’d be laying on the floor. Comatose. She’d be saying, ‘Call in the medics.'”
To his credit, Rogan was quick to defend Harris, noting that she had previously agreed to do the show and he hopes the two can simply sit down and have a conversation one day.
“I could imagine her doing this show. She was supposed to do it. And she might still do it. And I hope she does. I will talk to her like a human being. I would try to have a conversation with her. I think we’d have a fine conversation. I think I’d be able to talk to her.
“I wouldn’t try to interview her. I’d just try to have a conversation with her and hopefully get to know her as a human being. That was my goal. Having her on, trying to get her to express herself.”
