The podcast host opened up about why the 'very difficult' Vice President had failed to follow in Donald Trump's steps and appear on his popular show.

He explained that Harris 'only wanted to do an hour', compared to the three-hour sit down he was given by Trump.

He added that he had insisted that the interview take place in his studio, but had been flexible on timings, Mediaite reports.

'You could look at this and say, "Oh, you’re being a diva",' Rogan said Wednesday, 'But she had an opportunity to come here when she was in Texas. I literally gave them an open invitation.

'I said, "Any time." I said, "If she’s done at 10 o’clock, we’ll come back here at 10 o’clock." I go, "I’ll do it at nine in the morning, I’ll do it at 10 p.m., I’ll do it at midnight if she’s up, if she wants to drink a Red Bull and f**king party on.".'

He said that Harris' team reached out shortly after he announced Trump would be appearing.

'But it was very difficult to tie it down,” Rogan explained. 'They wanted to travel. See, the thing is, you can’t like — if I go somewhere, then there’s gonna be other people in the room.

'And they want to control a lot of things, I’m sure, according to the interview on Fox. Like, people are waving him off. That’s a distraction.

'My whole goal with her and with him is just talk. Just have a conversation like a human being. You find out things about people. You get a sense of them, at least.'

He explained he hoped to use the interview as a means of getting to know the candidates better.

'I don’t give a f**k what we talk about. I really don’t. I just wanna talk to you. Who the f**k are you?' Rogan added.

The interview amassed a staggering 17million YouTube views in less than 24 hours.

The Joe Rogan Experience is the most popular Spotify podcast, with over 14 million subscribers. Rogan also has nearly 18 million YouTube followers, and his videos routinely receive millions of views.

By appearing on Rogan's podcast, Trump was able to appeal directly to his 81 percent male listenership, of whom a majority are under 35.

Harris desperately needs to appeal to male voters, who are far more likely to skew towards voting for Trump.

Polls show the race too close to call in seven swing states that will decide the election, with even a few thousand extra votes having the potential to determine who will be elected 47th President of the United States.

Harris has long faced criticism that she performs poorly during press conferences or interviews and is frequently accused of giving rambling 'word salad' interviews.

A recent Fox News face-off with Brett Baier saw Harris on the defensive over her past views.

That appearance was also shortened by Harris staffers.

The prospect of a freewheeling, three-hour chat with Rogan with no holds-barred leaves Harris wide open to committing a series of gaffes that could sink her campaign in its final days.

Her invitation to appear on Rogan remains open, although her team have given no indication that they'll bow to the podcaster's terms.

Harris would also likely face stern questioning from Rogan about her dramatic policy shifts.

During the last election cycle, she supported defunding the police and went on the record to back taxpayer funded sex changes for transgender prisoners.

She has since sought to distance herself from her more overt political positions as the social justice movement that surged in 2020 and 2021 has petered out.

Vice President Kamala Harris will make not an appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast before Election Day, her campaign confirmed Thursday.

The vice president has recently been interviewed on the podcasts Call Her Daddy and All the Smoke, in addition to interviews on radio shows hosted by Howard Stern and Charlamagne tha God.

But a poll released by USA Today/Suffolk University on Wednesday suggested that podcast appearances were doing little to move the needle in favor of Harris and may instead be harming her campaign.

The poll, conducted among 1,000 likely voters, found that 51 percent of respondents who had heard the vice president on a podcast said that her appearance made them less likely to vote in her favor.

Only 34 percent of the poll respondents said that Harris podcast appearances made them more likely to vote for the Democratic ticket, while 21.5 percent said that it made no difference.

Why would Harris decline the invitation? It’s simple.

The more America sees her, the more her poll numbers shrink. She held a small but important lead over Trump in the weeks following her anointment.

Now, after she finally allowed herself to appear on various news shows and podcasts, those numbers are falling. Even Democratic operatives like David Axelrod are mocking her “word salad” answers.
