No Agreement Made Between Kamala And Rogan

Last week, speculation swirled about the possibility of Vice President Kamala Harris making a bold move by appearing on Joe Rogan's wildly popular podcast. The chatter was fueled by Harris’s supporters, who floated the idea as a potential game-changer for her flagging appeal with male voters. In theory, it made sense—Rogan's audience skews heavily male, and he commands an enormous following. If Harris had any intention of connecting with men and countering her decline in approval, Rogan would be the platform to make her case.

But let's face it: Harris on Joe Rogan was never going to happen. Why? Because, as has become increasingly clear, Harris doesn’t have much to say. Her entire public persona has been built on avoiding tough questions and skirting serious issues. Rogan’s podcast, famous for its marathon, in-depth conversations, would have exposed the very weaknesses she tries to hide. Harris can barely handle a few minutes of softball interviews from friendly outlets without fumbling, let alone hold her own on a show that would demand hours of candid, unscripted dialogue.

Contrast that with Donald Trump, who’s scheduled to appear on Rogan this Friday. Love him or hate him, Trump thrives in unscripted environments. He’s a natural storyteller, thrives on attention, and can hold court on almost any topic for hours. Rogan’s audience will eat it up. Trump’s previous podcast appearances have been entertaining, raw, and unpredictable—a far cry from the carefully curated media presence of Harris.

The thought of Harris on Rogan’s podcast is laughable. Rogan is no conservative, but he’s thoughtful and no-nonsense. He doesn’t tolerate empty platitudes or evasions, and he certainly wouldn’t let Harris glide by on the shallow talking points that have become her campaign’s hallmark. Harris’s team may have floated the idea, but the truth is, they knew better. Rogan would have torn through her carefully constructed image, and Harris herself is in no condition to handle that kind of pressure. She’s been coasting on a free pass from the media, and Rogan isn’t the type to hand out freebies.

Instead, Harris has been lying low, with no campaign events for two days straight. She’ll be appearing in a CNN town hall, but that's hardly a substitute for real engagement. Her campaign has largely been a non-campaign, relying on surrogates and influencers to push her message. It’s eerily reminiscent of Joe Biden’s 2020 basement strategy—keep the candidate out of the public eye, limit exposure, and hope the opposition trips up. But with Harris, it feels more like damage control than a calculated tactic.

Meanwhile, Trump’s campaign is firing on all cylinders. The media and Harris’s supporters might scream about bias or try to push hoaxes, but the fact remains: Harris is struggling, and her team knows it. The Democrats are pulling out every stop to prevent Trump from regaining the presidency, throwing celebrities, influencers, and old-guard politicians into the mix to distract from the reality that Harris herself is incapable of mounting a serious campaign.
