Top aides of the failed Kamala Harris presidential campaign appeared this week on &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kamala-adviser-public-polls-showed-leads-over-trump-that-we-never-saw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pod Save America</a>,&#8221; where they discussed what went wrong, including why Harris never appeared on the most popular podcast in the world, &#8220;The Joe Rogan Experience,&#8221; after an invite.
Senior campaign adviser David Plouffe shockingly suggested host Joe Rogan did not have pure intentions and was using the invite as &#8220;leverage&#8221; so now-President-elect Donald Trump would appear in the Austin-based studio.
&#8220;So what’s clear is we offered to do it in Austin, people should know that,&#8221; Plouffe said. &#8220;It didn’t work out. Maybe they leveraged that to get Trump in studio, I don’t know.&#8221;
Stephanie Cutter, another senior Harris campaign adviser, claimed the team just couldn&#8217;t make a date work for the extremely popular podcast.
&#8220;We had discussions with Joe Rogan’s team, they were great, they wanted us to come on, we wanted to come on, we tried to get a date to make it work and, ultimately, we just weren’t able to find a date. We did go to Houston and she gave a great speech at an amazing event,&#8221; Cutter said, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/kamala-harris-campaign-aides-suggest-trumps-sit-down-joe-rogan-blame-her-not-joining-podcast?intcmp=tw_fnc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to Fox News.

&#8220;We were hoping to fit it in around that but ultimately weren’t able to do it,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;As it turns out, that was the day that Trump was taping his Joe Rogan [appearance], which they had never confirmed to us. We just kind of figured that out in the lead-up to it. You know, she was ready, willing to go on Joe Rogan.&#8221;
Despite evidence that shows Trump&#8217;s Rogan appearance helped him with younger males, Cutter insisted that keeping Harris off the podcast didn&#8217;t make a difference in the election. &#8220;It didn’t ultimately impact the outcome one way or another, but she (Harris) was willing to do whatever it takes,&#8221; Cutter said.
However, Jennifer Palmieri, senior adviser to second gentleman Doug Emhoff, gave another reason for skipping the podcast. She <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/harris-backed-out-joe-rogan-podcast-over-backlash-progressive-staff-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The Financial Times that the appearance didn&#8217;t work out &#8220;because of concerns at how the interview would be perceived within the Democratic Party.&#8221;
&#8220;There was a backlash with some of our progressive staff that didn’t want her to be on it, and how there would be a backlash,&#8221; she said.
On social media platform X, politicos were not convinced by the explanations. Some pointed out that Harris decided to make time for the sketch comedy show &#8220;Saturday Night Live,&#8221; which has much lower ratings than &#8220;The Joe Rogan Experience.&#8221;
&#8220;Kamala Harris &#8216;left the battleground&#8217; to appear on SNL&#8230; which has far fewer viewers/listeners than Joe Rogan,&#8221; one <a href="https://x.com/trippwhitbeck/status/1861513190892273695" target="_blank" rel="noopener">comment</a> read.
&#8220;I don’t know who is more incompetent, Kamala Harris the candidate or her campaign team that blew through more than a $1 billion and got crushed,&#8221; Steve Cortes wrote. &#8220;Her campaign is now claiming &#8216;Kamala didn’t have time&#8217; to go on Joe Rogan’s podcast but they really wanted to!&#8221;
&#8220;It’s the #1 podcast in the world, and they couldn’t make time,&#8221; he said.
