The Endorsement Battle

Kamala Harris has won the endorsement battle of Hollywood celebrities and entertainers hands down. But do people really take their political cues from Hollywood stars? The jury is out.

 

But in the last 24 hours, there have been two endorsements that may actually mean something in a close election.

 

One is Joe Rogan. He has 15 million followers on his Spotify podcast. But 50 million people have listened to his three-hour interview with Donald Trump taking any and all questions.

 

The other is Megan Kelly, who endorsed Donald Trump last night. You may recall that she and Trump had a very unpleasant relationship several years ago. But over the past year, it has become clear that she has moved into his orbit.

 

Harris has a gender gap with men, and Trump has a gender gap with women. But unlike Hollywood entertainers who are told what to say, Rogan and Kelly actually know and discuss important issues.
