It seems the historic appearance of Donald Trump in the Joe Rogan Experience podcast became pivotal in the U.S. President's chances at winning the highest seat in the US government.
A news clip uploaded by the JRE Companion on Instagram has been circulating the social media sphere. It revealed that some voters who listened to the JRE episode featuring Trump admit that the three-hour conversation was their "deciding factor" on whose name they'll write on the ballot:
"We talked to several students who say that they listened to that Joe Rogan podcast with the former president and that was the deciding factor for them. They also said that if Kamala Harris, the vice president of the United States, would have had appeared on that podcast, they may have had their votes skewed."

"Joe [Rogan] gonna get a little studio in the White House for the next four years 😂"
On the topic of Kamala Harris, @rfodi3 said:
"She can’t talk without a Teleprompter guys don’t you get it? She’s a hollow shell of a human being! Do you want that person to represent us on a world stage? I don’t think so."

Joe Rogan sets the record straight on why Kamala Harris podcast didn't happen
The Donald Trump episode of the Joe Rogan Experience currently sits at 46 million views on YouTube, becoming the second-most watched JRE episode ever in the video-sharing site.
With the Trump episode becoming a massive hit, talks of his then-rival Kamala Harris to come on the podcast and provide the public with deep insight into her personality. However, the podcast never happened.
In a separate episode, Rogan had to explain why the former US vice president didn't get to appear in JRE:
"Their [Harris'] camp reached out to me so I said 'Great! I'd love to talk to her'. But it was very difficult to tie it down. And they wanted [me] to travel. See the thing is like, if I go somewhere, there's going to be other people in the room. And they want to control a lot of things, according to the Brett Brier interview on Fox. Like, people were waving him off. That's a distaction. My whole goal with her and with him [Trump] is just talk. Have a conversation like a human being."
