Joe Rogan Makes Presidential Endorsement (Spoiler Alert: RFK Jr)
Newsweek ^ | 08/08/2024 | Andrew Stanton

Posted on 08/08/2024 3:04:28 PM PDT by Drew68

Joe Rogan has made his endorsement in the presidential race, announcing he is supporting independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

"I am a fan. He's the only one to make sense to me. He's the only one that doesn't attack people. He attacks actions and ideas, but he's much more reasonable and intelligent," Rogan said during an episode of his podcast.

Kennedy is running as an independent challenger to former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. He has sought to appeal to centrist voters who may be disillusioned by the policies of the Democratic and Republican parties.

Polls show that he faces an uphill battle to victory in November, as he is not even on the ballot in some states. But he could still play a pivotal role in the election if he siphons off enough voters from either candidate to give the opponent an advantage in the key swing states. Some polls suggest Kennedy may be more of a threat to Trump than to Harris.

Newsweek reached out to Kennedy's campaign for comment via email.

Probably because he knows Kennedy has no chance and he won’t be accused by either side of taking sides.

He thinks about his career. Who really knows what he would do when he votes or doesn’t vote?

this tells you that RFK Jr takes more votes from dems the repubs

Nobody believes this.

In every poll that includes RFK, Trump does even worse than the polls that don’t include him.

Wastes his vote.

I don’t think it is a waste to vote for what you believe in. Having principles and sticking with them is a good thing. Too many people today compromise their beliefs and engage in moral/ethical relativism.

Rogan is voting in Texas which will probably go for Trump this November. Rogan, voting for RFK Jr won’t change a thing.

His crotch has to be on fire from riding that old splintered fence. So what are we supposed to do, hang on every word of JOE ROGAN and pray he goes Trump? “F” him, he is a joke. Those white dudes will choose Trump every time over Rogan who will lose.

He won’t get heat for it. If endorses Trump, it’s a kick to him so screw the rest of us and the future.

Wonder what he’ll say in two more weeks. I like Rogan and listen to his show when he has interesting guests, but who he endorses has little bearing on how people vote; at least I hope so.

I’ve never watched him, just a few clips have been enough to turn me off completely. But he’s got a following, even here on FR. To each their own.

He’s always been controlled.

A muscle head like him doesn’t get such a big platform any other way.

Another idiot like Howard Stern that people listen to.

Wake up people. This guy is a goof.

He says RFK Jr is the only one that makes sense to him?

What an A hole.

True. But Rogan still has a lot of lefty friends. He took the cowardly way out.

I am not sure what the polls show, but in general anyone who gives Democrats an option other than Kamala-la-la-ding-dong is likely to suck more votes away from her than from President Trump. Which is why the Democrats are the ones who have been doing their very best to keep Kennedy Jr. off the ballots. Rogan’s support makes it harder for the Democrats to do this.
