WASHINGTON, Nov 5 (Bernama-dpa) -- Comedian Joe Rogan, a top podcaster in the United States, on Monday endorsed Republican Donald Trump in Tuesday's US presidential election, reported German news agency (dpa).
Rogan, who has expressed sympathies for Trump and recently interviewed billionaire Trump supporter Elon Musk, had the No. 1 show on Apple podcasts on Monday, a familiar spot for the programme.
The Joe Rogan Experience draws in millions of listeners, many of whom are the young men Trump has been trying to reach.
Rogan said Musk "makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way. For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump."
Rogan has been criticised for spreading misinformation and making racist remarks, for which he later apologised. His guests have also included conspiracy theorists.
Outside the United States, Rogan is perhaps best known as a ring commentator for the US mixed martial arts organisation UFC. He met Trump a few days ago for an hours-long discussion. Despite negotiations, an interview with Trump's Democratic rival Kamala Harris did not take place.
