Podcast personality Joe Rogan recently discussed the potential political shifts within the Democratic Party ahead of the 2024 presidential election, including speculation on the future of President Joe Biden’s candidacy.
Throughout his term, President Biden has faced scrutiny over his cognitive capabilities, a conversation that intensified following a report by Special Counsel Robert Hur. Although the details of the report characterized Biden as a well-intentioned figure with memory challenges, the findings sparked debate over his eligibility for re-election.
Chris Williamson, Rogan’s guest and a fellow podcast presenter, suggested that legal consequences for Biden may be avoided due to his mental state, yet quipped about his viability as a presidential candidate.
Rogan questioned Biden’s future run for the presidency, conjecturing that the Democratic Party might encourage him to step aside. He hypothesized that California Governor Gavin Newsom could be groomed to spearhead the party’s ticket in the next election cycle.
Amid these discussions, Rogan highlighted the ongoing discussions about President Biden’s past positions and earnings. For example, although Biden held an “honorary” professorial role at the University of Pennsylvania and was titled the Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor, his involvement was limited to a series of lectures, lacking comprehensive teaching duties or rigorous academic contributions. Despite this, Biden’s compensation from the institution reached approximately $900,000.
The podcast didn’t shy away from controversial topics, as Rogan pointed out the financial links between the University of Pennsylvania, where Biden’s think tank is based, and funding sources with ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
While these conversations on “The Joe Rogan Experience” reflect engagement with current political discourse, they are rooted in conjecture and personal viewpoints, framed within the informal context of a podcast discussion. As the 2024 election nears, concrete developments within political parties and Biden’s decisions will be more thoroughly reported by traditional news outlets.
