Former Vice President Kamala Harris said she regrets not going on Joe Rogan’s podcast during her 2024 presidential campaign and wanted to do it, but contended that there were “games being played.”
“I wanted to do Joe Rogan’s show,” Harris said on Thursday’s episode of “The Diary of a CEO.” “And there was a lot of games being played, but I wanted to do Joe Rogan’s show.”
She later added, “I definitely regret that we didn’t do it.”
Rogan, a supporter of President Donald Trump whose podcast is especially popular among right-leaning young men, has been credited with helping Trump win back the presidency. He has interviewed an array of celebrities and politicians, including Elon Musk, Bill Burr, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and more. But his show has also been criticized as a platform for misinformation, like anti-vaccine conspiracy theories.
In the 2025 book “Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House,” authors Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes wrote that Rogan had promised Harris a spot on his podcast, only to give it to Trump.
