According to a recent report, Joe Rogan may have had an impact on the younger generation that contributed to Donald Trump's victory in last month's presidential election. As Trump forms a new government, the administration may seek assistance from Rogan and other podcasters to reach a diverse audience and deliver their message as part of their new approach.
Influencers like Theo Von, the Nelk Boys, and Adin Ross, in addition to Rogan, were instrumental in endorsing Trump, which contributed to the Republican party's victory in the most recent elections. Through these influencers, Trump sought to educate the younger audience about the persistent problems in the US, such as taxes and illegal immigration, among many other topics.
Politico claimed, citing sources close to Trump, that the new administration will employ the tactic to attract a diverse audience with the assistance of Rogan, Von, Ross, and several social media personalities. The Trump official stated:
''Both the strategy and the press briefing room will likely look a whole lot more like the media consumption habits of the American voters of today versus the 1980s. I could very well see a press briefing room where Maggie Haberman sits next to Joe Rogan.''

Trump discussed a range of subjects on the UFC commentator's podcast The Joe Rogan Experience before the elections. Their conversation garnered a sizable amount of views, and Rogan ultimately supported Trump.
In another podcast episode, the 57-year-old talked about how the media views Trump. The New York Post reported Rogan's comments, which said:
''What we saw is the greatest media psy-op in history. What you’re seeing with Trump, regardless of his flaws, is a massive concentrated psy-op. They’ve distorted who he is to the point where most people think that way. Most people think that way. They’ve had narratives.'' [H/t: New York Post]
Joe Rogan talks about the presidential election triumph of Donald Trump
In a recent podcast interview with Marc Andreessen, Joe Rogan expressed amazement that the voting system had not been corrupted following Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election.
Rogan speculated that something would go wrong with the voting system, considering how the media portrayed Trump.
''Well, we are very fortunate. I mean, like I said, after the election, I was like, 'wow, voting works'. Voting works, that's nice, like they don't have the system completely rigged. But they kind of tried to rig it, at least with the media."
