Popular podcast host Joe Rogan has ignited a fresh political debate after suggesting that former US President Donald Trump would 'easily' win if he ran for office again in 2024. The controversial remarks were made during a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, where Rogan argued that Trump remains a dominant force in American politics.
Rogan’s Bold Claim on Trump’s Chances
Rogan, known for his unfiltered commentary, claimed that Trump’s base remains fiercely loyal and that the Republican Party would struggle to find a more compelling candidate. 'If Trump runs again, he’ll win—easily,' Rogan declared, sparking both backlash and agreement from listeners.
Texas Democrat James Talarico Also Eyes Presidency
Meanwhile, Texas State Representative James Talarico, a rising star in the Democratic Party, has reportedly been considering a presidential bid. Talarico, a progressive voice, has gained attention for his advocacy on education reform and social justice issues.
Political analysts suggest that Talarico’s potential run could energise younger voters, though he faces an uphill battle against more established figures in the Democratic primary.
Public Reaction Divided
Rogan’s comments have drawn mixed reactions. Trump supporters have welcomed the endorsement, while critics argue that Rogan’s influence risks normalising controversial political figures. Meanwhile, Talarico’s rumoured ambitions have been met with cautious optimism from progressive circles.
As the 2024 election cycle heats up, the political landscape remains unpredictable, with unexpected voices shaping the conversation.
