Podcaster Joe Rogan has praised Kamala Harris for ‘nailing’ her Atlanta rally speech while acknowledging that it was a ‘problem’ for the Republican Party.
In the latest episode of his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, the podcaster said that Harris “was like a pro” in her rally speech and that she “crushed it”.
In a conversation with guest Adam Kay, he added that the current Vice President’s strong performance in the rally could be a “problem” for Trump in upcoming debates.

“I don’t think they thought she was going to be able to do that,” he said.
Rogan went on to say that her “well-executed” performance at the Atlanta rally following her nomination – which included the line, “If you’re going to say something, why don’t you say it to my face?” – was likely down to the help of coaches and “political speech analysts”.
He also suggested that while Trump is known for talking “off-the-cuff”, it is part of the reason “why it goes sideways sometimes”.
The comments come just days after Rogan praised Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent candidate in the upcoming election.
“They do it on the left, they do it on the right,” he said on his podcast.
“They gaslight you, they manipulate you, they promote narratives and the only one who is not doing that is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.”
“He’s the only one that makes sense to me,” he added.
In response, Donald Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, posting, “It will be interesting to see how loudly Joe Rogan gets BOOED the next time he enters the UFC Ring??? MAGA2024.”
Rogan later clarified in a post on X that his comments were not an endorsement of RFK Jr., but that he appreciates “the way he discusses things with civility and intelligence.”
The podcaster also praised Trump for the way he responded to the assassination attempt but added that he was “not the guy to get political information from”.
