Liberals have grown despondent after it emerged that Donald Trump’s interview with Joe Rogan amassed a staggering 17 million YouTube views in less than 24 hours.
The three-hour sit down covered a wide range of topics including UFOs, the John F. Kennedy assassination files, the border and healthy food in the US.
As soon as the episode was released just after 10pm Eastern Time on Friday night, viewing figures skyrocketed with 300,000 in the first 30 minutes.
By comparison, Kamala Harris‘ appearance on the Call her Daddy podcast with Alex Cooper has clocked just 685,000 views in the two weeks since it went live.
The Vice President was also due to be interviewed by Rogan, but had to pull out due to scheduling conflicts, a spokesman said.

However, since details of Trump’s ratings emerged many liberals have begun urging Harris to sit down with the popular podcast host.
‘I’m devils advocate sure, but Kamala Harris go on Joe Rogan. The #1 podcast in America,’ one person wrote on X.
‘You have to be a President for all people. Donald Trump is currently polling up from Joe Rogan podcast.’
‘Get on Joe Rogan please Kamala Harris, show them all what an adult candidate for President looks and sounds like!’ Another added.
‘He’s probably going to have over 30 million views on The Joe Rogan podcast before the end of the night,’ one person mused.
‘Go on Joe Rogan’s podcast,’ one Democrat tweeted the Vice President. ‘Biggest podcast audience out there—and trump looked and sounded ridiculous last night.
‘Rogan is pretty fair and level-headed. It would be a good look. Hillary made a mistake by not going on with Stern in 2016. She admitted that herself. DO IT.’
Both candidates’ podcast appearances are part of a strategy to use non-traditional media forms to reach more voters.

But there are fears among Democrats that Trump has pulled this off much more successfully than his adversary.
By appearing on Rogan’s podcast, Trump was able to appeal appeal directly to his 81 percent male listenership, of whom a majority are under 35.
This a demographic Harris has been struggling to woo, according to recent polling.
A USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll placed Trump leading among men 53 percent to 37 percent, while Harris’ lead with women is 53 percent to 36 percent.
