Joe Rogan gives backing to Donald Trump in US election

Joe Rogan has given his endorsement to Donald Trump as Americans head to the polls in Tuesday's presidential election.

The podcaster said he was giving the Republican his backing after being convinced in one of his interviews by tech billionaire Elon Musk, another high-profile supporter of Trump.

Rogan's backing could carry significant weight with his young, male listenership - which is also a demographic that Trump has been working hard to court ahead of the 2024 vote. Trump welcomed the endorsement as "great" news.

Trump's rival, Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, has received endorsements from numerous other top celebrities, including musicians Taylor Swift and Beyoncé.
