Donald Trump is the winner of Joe Rogan’s sweepstakes.

Rogan, the host of a popular podcast and a former US president, welcomed Elon Musk as a guest.

The great and powerful @elonmusk. Rogan said, “He makes the most compelling argument for Trump that you will hear and I agree with every step he takes.” “For the record yes, it’s an endorsement.”

Mr. Trump announced the endorsement at a rally that evening in Pittsburgh. Mr. Trump was on Mr. Rogan’s podcast the week before last.

The Vice President Kamala Harris was flirting with the idea of appearing on the podcast but Mr. Rogan refused the terms set by the campaign.

Rogan posted on social media last week that the Harris campaign had not declined to do the podcast. They offered me a Tuesday date, but it would have required that I travel to her and only do an hour.
