Sounds like the Kamala Harris appearance on the Joe Rogan Podcast isn't happening. Last week, former President and current GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump set the internet on fire with his appearance on the wildly popular Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Trump sat with Rogan in his Austin studio for a 3-hour, wide-ranging interview that covered everything from nuclear energy to computer chips to the UFC. And I'm pretty sure he would have kept going all day if he didn't have a rally to fly off to. The podcast has racked up over 38 million views on YouTube alone, and who knows how many streams on platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts. So naturally, that presented the question: Will his opponent, Vice President and Democrat nominee Kamala Harris, also be sitting down with Rogan for an interview? Well it appears that the answer is no. During his conversation with Trump, the host admitted that he would like to have Kamala on as well, to have a conversation with both candidates. But her campaign manager last week hinted that it's probably not going to happen, and Rogan took to Twitter yesterday to pull back the curtain on his behind-the-scenes conversations with the Harris campaign: "Also, for the record the Harris campaign has not passed on doing the podcast. 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. 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."

As it turns out, Harris was willing to do the podcast, but only on her own schedule and terms: Rogan would have to fly to her, and the interview would be limited to an hour. If you've listened to Rogan, you know that his podcasts can easily run 2, 3, even 4 hours sometimes. He likes to have deep conversations with his guests, and they're always filmed inside his Austin, Texas studio - just like Trump's was. Rogan says he's not willing to meet the campaign's demands in order to have Harris on the podcast, so it seems like the appearance isn't going to happen. But Kamala's supporters aren't happy that Rogan isn't willing to change things up in order to interview the Vice President: https://twitter.com/mannyfidel/status/1851243440282964271 https://twitter.com/4lisaguerrero/status/1851152324842176849 https://twitter.com/McFaul/status/1851143437871169852 https://twitter.com/ArmandDoma/status/1851125495360078222 https://twitter.com/RobSlater10/status/1851228694703931711 https://twitter.com/oglivie804/status/1851252625448079746 https://twitter.com/stuartpstevens/status/1851263547537228233 https://twitter.com/jpsperspective/status/1851352162984677788 https://twitter.com/UmbilicalKordei/status/1851281926549565660 Many cite her busy schedule during this last week of the campaign as a reason that Rogan should have to travel to Harris to record the podcast. Let's take a look at her schedule today: https://twitter.com/JohnEkdahl/status/1851310400551186875 Yeah I see why she couldn't fit him in. And let's be honest, Rogan doesn't really need Harris on his podcast as much as she needs him. He signed a $250 million deal with Spotify, and his podcasts regularly get a million views on YouTube alone. He has a platform that could provide her exposure to millions and millions of people, and his listeners are largely in the male demographic that she's been struggling with. You'd think she would be doing anything she could to get herself in front of them. https://twitter.com/ShelbyTalcott/status/1851321194663882805 Regardless, this late in the game, it seems the interview with Harris isn't going to happen - although the Trump campaign seems more than happy to fly to Austin for the exposure, with VP nominee JD Vance set to appear on an episode of the podcast later this week. https://twitter.com/politico/status/1851277131344462059
