Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris could sit down with popular podcaster Joe Rogan for an interview in the final stretch of the US presidential campaign, three sources with knowledge of the matter said on Monday.
Harris campaign officials met with Rogan’s team this week but an appearance has not been confirmed yet, two of the sources said.
Rogan, who runs the most popular podcast in the United States, has a highly coveted and devoted following that leans young, male and numbers in the tens of millions.
The interview will offer Harris an opportunity to make her case to his followers, as she works to shore up support with male voters and Black men in particular. Numerous public polls suggest Republican nominee Donald Trump could overperform among young men of all races.
On Monday, the vice president released a new set of policy proposals to appeal to Black male voters and her campaign is ramping up outreach to the typically Democratic voting group.
On Monday, Trump also indicated he plans to go on Joe Rogan’s podcast before Election Day on Nov 5.
Rogan reached a new deal with Spotify earlier this year, estimated to be worth as much as $250 million.
