Popular podcaster Joe Rogan recently expressed his concern that Vice President Kamala Harris could win the presidency because Americans are increasingly buying into what he describes as the "bulls—" anti-Trump narrative.
During a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, featuring political commentator Michael Malice as a guest, Rogan argued that Harris could win the election simply because many liberals are strongly aligned against former President Donald Trump.
"She’s gonna win," Rogan said.
He claims that people are so influenced by the media that they will vote for her simply to avoid having Trump in office again.
Rogan also stated that people seem more willing than ever to "gaslight themselves" into voting against Trump, regardless of who the alternative candidate is.
He suggested that even former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton could be a viable contender due to the same sentiment.
Malice agreed with Rogan that Harris could win but was more skeptical about her chances.
He referenced her poor performance during the 2020 presidential primary. "How bad do you have to be that you can’t even make Iowa?" Malice questioned.
The conversation also touched on the broader media landscape and how news cycles can rapidly shift focus. Rogan mentioned how quickly the attempted assassination of Trump faded from public discourse.
"You would have thought Trump getting shot would have had four, eight years of corporate journalists talking about hate speech causing violence," Rogan said.
Despite his concerns, Rogan clarified that his prediction was not based on a personal desire for Harris to win but rather on his observation of current political trends.
"I’m saying it because she could. I’m not saying it because I think she’s going to, and I’m not saying it because I want her to," he explained.
Malice countered by suggesting that Harris might struggle to secure the Black male vote, which was key for Biden's victory in 2020.
"I don’t think they’re going to go in the booth and pull the lever for her like they did for Biden, who was Obama’s boy," he argued.
