Joe Rogan and his guest agree that Kamala Harris "100%" rattled Donald Trump during their debate: "She was way better prepared"

Joe Rogan believes Kamala Harris threw Donald Trump off balance during their debate. The 2024 United States presidential election campaigns are in full swing, with Republican candidate Trump and Democratic hopeful Harris clashing in their first presidential debate earlier this month.

Both Trump and Harris have fiercely targeted each other's policies and ideologies throughout the campaign. However, the standout moment of the debate came when the 45th U.S. president accused immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, of allegedly eating residents' pets—a sensational claim aimed at undermining Harris' pro-immigrant stance.

During a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE), the veteran UFC commentator discussed the 2024 presidential debates with stand-up comedian Tom Segura. The two agreed that while Trump excelled in certain moments, Harris came across as more poised and well-equipped throughout, which seemingly gave her the upper hand in the overall discussion. Segura said:

"She got him, she baited him on that, and she walked him right into it."

Rogan concurred, noting that the defining factor in the debate was who came more thoroughly prepared:

"100%. The difference in that debate was not about who’s going to have better policies or who’s going to be better for the country. The difference in the debate, in my opinion, was who was better prepared. She was way better prepared, and even when it came to answering tough questions, instead of answering, she would just say things that she believed were sure, and they sounded really good. That’s the sound bite."

The 60th U.S. presidential election is scheduled for Nov. 5, with the victor set to assume office for a four-year term in the White House, beginning in January 2025.

Joe Rogan commends Donald Trump’s spot-on Elon Musk impersonation

During the same episode of JRE, Joe Rogan lavished praise on Donald Trump following his recent impression of Elon Musk. Rogan remarked that the former POTUS has an impressive knack for public speaking, even likening his performance to that of a seasoned comedian.

The renowned podcaster noted that Trump had mastered the art of reading his audience while keeping his listeners fully engaged:

"The thing that [Trump] does, and it’s just like, he can do it better than anybody alive, is just riff. He can go out there, have a crowd of people, and he’s funny, man. He does things like, he did an Elon [Musk] impression the other day, it was hilarious... He’s killing it. He kills like a comedian... He’s funny, like a comic. It’s just like, we don’t necessarily want that as the guy with his finger on the button." [16:46]
