Podcaster Joe Rogan made an observation about President Joe Biden that would come as a shock to Vice President Kamala Harris if it were true.
Many people believe that the president was not thrilled with being pushed aside in favor of the vice president at the head of the Democrat ticket that ultimately failed against President-elect Donald Trump and Rogan is one of them.
On Thursday during an episode of his podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience,” he said to Black Rifle Coffee Company CEO Evan Hafer that he not only believes that the president wanted Trump to defeat Harris but that he actually voted for him.
“Do you know what one of my f—ing favorite things of this whole election cycle has been? Yesterday when Biden and Trump sat down in the White House,” the podcaster said. “Biden voted for Trump. I guarantee it. I f—ing guarantee it. I never saw that dude so happy in his f—ing life. He lost. His party lost. He was happy.”
A photo of the president smiling next to the president-elect was shown and the podcaster exclaimed “Look at, look at Biden! Look at his f—ing smile, dude! Look at his f—ing smile, man. That’s like when your kid gets married.”
“I guarantee you, I guarantee you that Mother —-er was happy. He had a giant smile on his face. He said, ‘Welcome back’ to him,” the podcaster quipped.
“I thought it was ‘Hitler,’” he said about past rhetoric from the president and Democrats about Trump. “I thought he was ‘dangerous!’”
“It’s so nuts, man. It’s so nuts,” he said. “All the different things that happened during this election are wilder than anything you’ve ever seen in a f—ing movie.”

Trump told the New York Post exclusively that he and Biden “both really enjoyed seeing each other” following an often-rancorous campaign during which the two men traded barbs and insults.
“You know, it’s been a long, it’s been a long slog,” Trump said during a phone interview as he left Washington. “It’s been a lot of work on both sides and he did a very good job with respect to campaigning and everything else. We really had a really good meeting.”
The last two U.S. presidents discussed the transition of power on January 20, with Trump telling Biden in front of the world’s press that it would be “as smooth as can be.”
“It’s going very smoothly,” Trump told The Post regarding picking officials for his incoming administration. He added that the transition team and the Biden White House enjoy a “very, very good relationship.”
Trump also said that he and Biden talked about the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East between Israel and Hamas.
“I wanted — I asked for his views and he gave them to me,” Trump told The Post. “Also, we talked very much about the Middle East, likewise. I wanted to know his views on where we are and what he thinks. And he gave them to me, he was very gracious.”
Trump also shared that he and Biden are scheduled to meet again just before his inauguration, which the Democratic incumbent has already confirmed he will attend.
“The Oval Office is so beautiful and I do certainly look forward [to coming back],” Trump told The Post. “We’ll have that very, very nice meeting that takes place between two presidents sometime prior. You know, that takes place just before going in. So we’ll have that. But this was a very enjoyable meeting.”
