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.
Rogan said that he likes Kennedy because candidates on both the right and left “gaslight” and “manipulate” voters.
“The only one who’s not doing that is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,” he said.
Rogan has frequently made headlines over his views on politics and has a history of supporting both Democratic and Republican candidates.
He previously said he did not vote for either Trump or President Joe Biden in the 2020 race. He said in February 2022 that he couldn’t vote for Biden because he “can’t talk right anymore.”
Rogan endorsed Senator Bernie Sanders’ campaign during the 2020 Democratic primary. In 2022, he floated Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as someone he believed would make a “good candidate.” DeSantis challenged Trump in the Republican primary races but ultimately fell short and dropped out.
Rogan voiced support for Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson in the 2016 presidential race.
Most recent polls show Kennedy continuing to poll in the single digits. A Marist College poll, which surveyed 1,513 registered voters from August 1 to 4, found him winning 5 percent of the vote. The poll found Harris with a 3-point lead over Trump (48 percent to 45 percent).
The Kennedy campaign has recently been involved in a case that could determine whether he makes the ballot in New York state.
The case centers on his residency after voters accused him of using a false address on petitions to get himself on the ballot. If a judge rules against Kennedy, he could be removed from the state’s ballot.
The New York Times reported that if he loses the New York suit, legal challenges in other states may follow.
He does know that by voting for kennedy, that there is no way that he can win, he is esentiay voting for harris?
I thought joe had some sense……but i was wrong…he is out of touch with reality , present conditions and the American people. I bet he is being paid or promised. TRUMP24/28
It is because the way you think we are in this mess. Sorry not knowing you anymore.
Kennedy is as big of a chameleon as Khameleon Harris. If he’s talking to Middle of the road people, he only approves of early abortions. If talking to Planned De-Parent hood, he’s all for full term abolitions. Everything he says is adjusted to the people he is talking too. In short he’s just another lying phony Dem.
