The podcaster said he was giving the Republican his backing after being convinced in one of his interviews by tech billionaire Elon Musk, another high-profile supporter of Trump.

Rogan's backing could carry significant weight with his young, male listenership - which is also a demographic that Trump has been working hard to court ahead of the 2024 vote. Trump welcomed the endorsement as "great" news.

Trump's rival, Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, has received endorsements from numerous other top celebrities, including musicians Taylor Swift and Beyoncé.

Ahead of polling day, Tuesday, both campaigns have been working to win over undecided voters in an extremely close race.
