AUSTIN, Texas — Former President Donald Trump is expected in Austin on Friday to record an interview with Joe Rogan.
Multiple sources confirmed to ABC News that the interview will take place at Rogan’s studio in Austin, where the UFC commentator and comedian hosts one of the most popular podcasts in the world.
The announcement comes after Vice President Kamala Harris announced a rally in Houston on Friday to highlight the issue of abortion rights.
The podcast will be Trump’s first appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” after a back-and-forth spat between the two. During an episode in August, Rogan expressed his support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., saying that Kennedy doesn’t attack people and that he was “the only one who makes sense.”
Trump responded on social media saying, “It will be interesting to see how loudly Joe Rogan gets BOOED the next time he enters the UFC Ring??? MAGA2024.”
Rogan clarified later that he wasn’t endorsing RFK Jr., who would go on to drop his presidential bid and endorse Trump.
The two major presidential candidates continue their dueling podcast strategies leading up to the election. Trump recently appeared on Theo Von’s “This Past Weekend” and Andrew Schulz’s “Flagrant,” while Harris appeared on Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy” and did an hour-long interview with Howard Stern.
Rogan garners vast listener numbers each week and has also reportedly spoken with Harris about an appearance ahead of Election Day.
