Vance appears on Joe Rogan podcast
Vance made an appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience, on Thursday. The episode, which lasts more than three hours and is on Spotify, was also uploaded to the show's YouTube channel.
Trump was on Rogan's podcast last week, and Kamala Harris was in talks to be on it, but Rogan said he declined because he wouldn't travel to her. The podcast is taped in Austin, Texas. Rogan said he would still like to meet with Harris "to just have a nice conversation and get to know her as a human being."
Rogan's show is its top podcast with 14.5 million followers, according to Spotify.
Controversy over Puerto Rico joke continues
Facing ongoing backlash to a comedian's joke about Puerto Rico being "an island of garbage" at a Madison Square Garden rally, Trump asked a New Mexico rally crowd on Thursday if they prefer to be called "Hispanics" or "Latinos." The crowd cheered louder for "Hispanic."
"First of all, Hispanics love Trump," he said. "I like them. They're smart."
Meanwhile Harris said she disagreed with President Joe Biden's comments when he appeared to refer to Trump's supporters as “garbage," saying that while the president clarified his remarks, she does not agree with criticisms of voters based on whom they're supporting.
Polls continue to show an incredibly close race between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
