Joe Rogan shared why a podcast interview with Vice President Kamala Harris hasnt materialized yet, mere days after his viral Joe Rogan Experience interview with former President Donald Trump .

The Austin, Texas-based podcast host, who told Trump during Fridays episode that he sincerely hoped an interview with the Democratic presidential nominee would happen , confirmed Tuesday on X, formerly Twitter, that the Harris campaign has not passed on doing the podcast yet.

They offered a date for Tuesday, but I would have had to travel to her and they only wanted to do an hour, he wrote . I strongly feel the best way to do it is in the studio in Austin. My sincere wish is to just have a nice conversation and get to know her as a human being.

Earlier this week, Harris campaign confirmed that they had discussed a possible appearance with Rogan, but it didnt work out because of her schedule.

While Rogan concluded that he hopes that we can make it happen before Election Day, his casual rejection of such a high-profile interview one he has brought up on his show before has left social media users both baffled and frustrated .

Rogan was criticized for platforming Trump on the podcast Friday, but also praised for pressing the former president about his false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

Later in his interview, Rogan said he could have a fine conversation with Harris if she came on the show.

I think Id be able to talk to her, he told Trump during their interview . I wouldnt try to interview her, Id just try to have a conversation with her and hopefully get to know her as a human being. That was my goal having her on, to get her to express herself.

The episode has since amassed more than 37 million views on YouTube alone.
