Has Joe Rogan become the most sought-after interviewer this election cycle?

In the latest plot twist as the election looms, podcaster Joe Rogan appears to have emerged as the most sought-after interviewer for both presidential campaigns as they seek to bolster male voters.

According to Reuters, Vice President Kamala Harris can venture into unknown territory with one performance The Joe Rogan Experience. Appearing on the popular podcast would continue the campaign's recent strategy of familiarizing non-traditional news consumers with Harris' agenda. Rogan's show has a predominantly male audience, which the campaign aggressively courts in November.

It appears both 2024 presidential candidates are vying for the podcast's reach, as male voters have become one of the most contentious demographics this election season. While an interview has not yet been confirmed, sources told Reuters that Harris' campaign met with Rogan's team this week to discuss a possible sit-in session.
