Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris could sit down for an interview with popular podcaster Joe Rogan, whose audience leans heavily towards young men, as she works to shore up support with male voters, sources said on Monday.
Harris campaign officials, in the final stretch of the U.S. presidential campaign, met with Rogan's team this week but an appearance has not been confirmed yet, said two of the sources, who have knowledge of the matter.
Rogan, who runs the most popular podcast in the United States, has a highly coveted and devoted following that numbers in the tens of millions.
The interview will offer Harris an opportunity to make her case to his followers, as she works to shore up support with male voters and Black men in particular.
Numerous public polls suggest Republican nominee Donald Trump could outperform among young men of all races.
On Monday, the vice president released a new set of policy proposals to appeal to Black male voters and her campaign is ramping up outreach to the typically Democratic voting group.
Her campaign also announced she will sit for an interview with Fox News, whose day-to-day programming is heavy on conservative punditry that often explicitly supports Trump.
On Monday, Trump also indicated he plans to go on Joe Rogan's podcast before Election Day on Nov. 5.

Kamala Harris on Rogan? That's a smart move. It's time to reach out beyond our echo chambers. Young men need to hear from her, especially with Trump's influence in that demographic.
@8LWQDVPConservatism2yrs2Y
Smart for Harris? More like desperate. She's trying to get votes wherever she can because Biden's policies are failing. Trump doesn’t need to pander; he's already got the support
Will Harris discuss the Green New Deal on Rogan? Or just stick to safe topics? Engaging with young men is great, but it needs to be about substance, not just visibility.

This could be huge if Harris uses it to mobilize young voters. Rogan's platform has the reach. Now, it's all about the message. Climate, justice, equality - these need to be front and center

Oh, great, another politician trying to seem cool by going on Rogan. Because nothing says 'I understand your issues' like a podcast appearance. What's next, TikTok dances for votes?

Excited to hear that. Always fun hearing Harris attack Trump and just end up making a fool of herself.
Both Trump and Harris going on Rogan shows there's some recognition that they need to step outside their bubbles. But let's see if they actually address tough questions or just play it safe.
