President-elect Donald Trump’s visit to the White House on Wednesday to meet with President Joe Biden in the Oval Office raised a lot of questions, particularly after Biden’s earlier criticisms of Trump. How could Biden, who had repeatedly labeled Trump a fascist and a threat to democracy, receive the president-elect so cordially? What changed for Biden after so many negative remarks about Trump’s character?
Podcaster Joe Rogan speculates that Biden might have actually wanted Trump to win — not only for revenge but because he may have even voted for him. On Thursday’s episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan shared his thoughts with Black Rifle Coffee Company CEO Evan Hafer, suggesting Biden’s actions might not be as surprising as they seem.
Rogan posted his thoughts on X (formerly Twitter) Friday, chuckling as he said, “Biden voted for Trump, I guarantee it.” He also noted that the footage of Trump and Biden together seemed to support this idea, as Biden appeared genuinely happy. “I never saw that dude so happy in his f***ing life!” Rogan quipped. “He lost. His party lost. He was happy.”
The upcoming 2024 election, which could be Biden’s final run as president, has already made history. After a dismal debate performance against Trump in June, Democrats were worried. Biden, who had won the party’s primary and was set for a rematch with the man he defeated in 2020, struggled to make coherent arguments. A letter in July announcing his intention to drop out raised suspicions that the decision wasn’t his, but rather one forced by the party to prevent Trump from returning to the White House.
If Biden voted for Trump, it would be a fitting turn of events, as his loss seems to set the stage for a revenge story against both Harris and the Democratic establishment that pushed him aside. First Lady Jill Biden’s choice to wear red, the color of the Republican Party, while casting her vote has added fuel to the narrative, especially after a wide smile appeared on her face in a now-famous photo.
In such an unprecedented election cycle, with a Democrat coup to oust Biden, it’s not entirely far-fetched to think he might have voted for Trump. Anything seems possible as this election continues to unfold.
