DJ Vlad Says Kamala Harris Might’ve Won Election If She Went on His Podcast

DJ Vlad is playing the blame game.

On the heels of Kamala Harris’ resounding election loss to Donald Trump, the Vlad TV host took to social media to reflect on where he believed the Harris camp went wrong. Vlad said he had been communicating with the vice president’s team “for months” in an attempt to schedule an interview with her or her running mate, Tim Walz.

Although he didn’t provide details about the correspondence, Vlad claimed the campaign rejected the offer and effectively hurt the Democrats' chances of securing the White House.

“For the record, I was in contact with Kamala’s media team for months trying to set up an interview with her or Walz, and they ultimately passed on both of them,” he wrote on X. “I think my interview with her would have been her biggest interview if I had free reign to do the interview I wanted to do. Kamala’s team really dropped the ball when it came to the interviews they scheduled for her during the campaign.”

Vlad suggested the Trump team was much more strategic when it came to podcast appearances. He specifically pointed to the president-elect’s October 26 sitdown on the Joe Rogan Experience. The nearly three-hour interview reportedly racked up more than 26 million YouTube views within 24 hours.

Rogan, who endorsed Trump on the eve of Election Day, said he had invited Harris to appear on his show before Election Day, but he was unable to meet her team’s requests.

“They offered a date for Tuesday, but I would have had to travel to her and they only wanted to do an hour,” he said. “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. I really hope we can make it happen.”

While Harris did appear on popular podcasts, like Call Her Daddy and All the Smoke, she never sat down with JRE. According to Edison Research, Rogan’s audience is roughly 80 percent male with more than half between the ages of 18-35. About 32 percent of listeners identify as Republican, 27 percent as Democrat, and 34 percent as Independent or “something else.”

“Her biggest bad decision was turning down Joe Rogan – who just gave Trump one of the biggest interviews of all time on YouTube,” Vlad continued. “If they had been as forward-thinking as Trump and made their rounds on all the important podcasts, I think she would have flipped some of the key states she barely lost in and possibly won the election.”
