One is, the other wants to become US President against: Joe Biden and Donald Trump © dpa
In the USA, celebrities and influencers also play a role in the election campaign.
Joe Rogan knows who he prefers.
But what does Taylor Swift do?
Washington, DC – The election campaign is already well underway in the USA.
The party primaries are more or less over and the candidates have basically already been decided.
Joe Biden and Donald Trump will again fight for entry into the White House in the US election in November.
A close race between the Democrat and the Republican is expected again this year.
Polls currently show Trump ahead, but a lot can still happen in the coming months.
In addition, independent candidates such as Robert Kennedy Jr. or Cornel West could have a significant influence on the presidential election.
Trump and Biden are hoping for prominent support in the US election
One thing is therefore important for all candidates.
They hope for as much celebrity help as possible.
Most recently, Kennedy caused a stir when, in an interview with the TV channel
CNN
, he mentioned football star (and conspiracy theorist) Aaron Rodgers and ex-Minnesota governor (and former professional wrestler) Jesse Ventura as possible candidates for the post of vice president brought.
It is not yet clear who will be Trump's “running mate”.
But verbal support from prominent sources is not entirely unimportant in the election campaign.
This is where Joe Rogan has excelled.
While the star podcaster previously wanted nothing to do with Trump, he is now apparently at his side - or at least he thinks he is better than his opponent.
“I would much rather vote for Trump than Biden,” Rogan said on his show “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
Biden is old and worn out, the 56-year-old added, and everyone knows that.

In fact, the age of the president plays a major role in the US election.
A
New York Times
poll found that 73 percent of respondents believe Biden, at 81, is “too old” to lead the government.
Joe Rogan had already presented this quite drastically in his own way in an interview in August 2023: “Trump is running against a dead man.”

Will Taylor Swift end up supporting Joe Biden in the US election?
And who does Joe Biden hope to get prominent help from?
Biden has recently lost support among younger people, especially due to his policy on the war in Israel.
According to
the New York Times
, Biden's team has now started talking to celebrities and influencers about possible support on social media.
The biggest name is of course Taylor Swift.
The singer has enormous influence among her fans and has around 283 million followers on the Instagram platform (Biden has 17 million).
Swift recently landed in fifth place
on
Forbes' list of the world's most influential women.
In 2023, Time
magazine named
her Person of the Year.
In fact, conspiracy theories are already circulating in the USA that Biden and Swift are secretly cooperating.
During an interview with
NBC,
Biden jokingly joined the chorus and said the matter was “secret.”
