Podcaster Joe Rogan personally guaranteed that President Joe Biden voted for former President Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election after observing Biden's interactions with Trump during a meeting in the Oval Office this week.
“Do you know what one of my f**king favorite things of this whole election cycle has been? Yesterday when Biden and Trump sat down in the White House,” Rogan said during Thursday's (November 14) episode of the Joe Rogan Experience (h/t the New York Post). “Biden voted for Trump. I guarantee it. I f**king guarantee it. I never saw that dude so happy in his f**king life. He lost. His party lost. He was happy.”
Rogan then compared Biden's interaction with Trump to then-President Barack Obama's Oval Office meeting with Trump -- who spent several years questioning the legitimacy of Obama's birth certificate -- following his 2016 election win, arguing that Obama looked exasperated at the time.
“Look at, look at Biden! Look at his f**king smile, dude! Look at his f**king smile, man. That’s like when your kid gets married," Rogan said about the recent meeting.
Trump said he and Biden privately discussed the wars in Ukraine and Gaza during their post-election meeting at the White House on Wednesday while discussing it exclusively with the New York Post.
“I wanted — I asked for his views and he gave them to me,” Trump said during a phone interview with the newspaper. “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 said that he and Biden "both really enjoyed seeing each other" and "got to know each other again" during his White House visit.
“You know, it’s been a long, it’s been a long slog,” Trump said. “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."
Trump and Biden also discussed the transition of power on January 20 while sitting in front of reporters in the Oval Office with the incoming president vowing that it would be "as smooth as can be" after he and other Republicans publicly contested his 2020 election loss and thousands of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol in a violent protest on January 6, 2021.
“It’s going very smoothly,” Trump said while discussing the process of picking officials for his second term, adding that the Republican transition team and Biden White House officials have a “very, very good relationship.”
Trump also said he and Biden are expected to meet again before his inauguration, which the current president has already confirmed he will attend.
“The Oval Office is so beautiful and I do certainly look forward [to coming back],” Trump said. “We’ll have that very, very nice meeting that takes place between two presidents sometime prior. You know, that takes place just prior to going in. So we’ll have that. But this was a very enjoyable meeting.”
