(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Both of the leading presidential candidates received surprise last-minute endorsements on Monday that seemed perfectly in line with their campaign messages.
Former President Donald Trump was endorsed by popular podcaster Joe Rogan, a one-time Bernie Sanders supporter who has undergone a remarkable red-pilled transformation during the Biden administration.
Rogan’s influential voice is one of several who have now aligned themselves with Trump in an inclusive coalition that transcends ideology, along with political scion Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former Democrat Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, and billionaire Elon Musk, the latter of whom helped Rogan reach his own decision in a Monday night X post.
The great and powerful @elonmusk.
If it wasn't for him we'd be fucked. He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way.
For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump.

“The great and powerful @elonmusk. If it wasn’t for him we’d be f**ked,” Rogan wrote. “He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you’ll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way. For the record, yes, that’s an endorsement of Trump.”
Both Trump and his vice-presidential candidate, JD Vance, appeared recently on Rogan’s show, while Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris declined due to a list of demands that included requiring Rogan to come to her.
However, Harris did get one high-profile endorsement from, Hunter Biden, the troubled son of President Joe Biden.
“Harris has proven herself to be an extraordinarily gifted candidate. She has been disciplined, and her campaign reflects the joy and optimism she communicates with every appearance she makes,” he told Politico.
Despite the rumors that his dad might be trying to sabotage the vice president who replaced him on the ticket, Hunter may be counting on the possibility that Harris would potentially pardon him following his recent convictions on federal gun charges in Delaware, and tax-evasion charges in California.
Hunter also mentioned Harris’s “I’m from a middle-class family” talking point, trying to turn it into a positive thing.
“The way Harris speaks about middle-class capitalism is informed by her own life experience, and I believe it is inspirational and speaks to the aspirations of all Americans,” he added.
Hunter also called Harris a “joyful warrior” who was an “invaluable partner” for his father.
“The joyful warrior that America has gotten to know in these past few months is the same Kamala Harris that has been an invaluable partner to the president these past four years and the same Kamala Harris my brother told me about and so admired when they fought side by side as attorneys general to hold the big banks accountable in the mortgage lending crisis of 2008,” he said.
Hunter then lied by saying that his father “passed the torch” to Harris because of her “dedication to service, her unyielding pursuit of justice and her profound decency,” even though, in reality, Democrats just performed a coup to replace Joe with Harris.
“These are the qualities that my brother so admired about Harris when he was alive, and I know he would be so proud of her now,” he said.
Hunter’s recent comments came after Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said he may pardon Hunter.
“I wouldn’t take it off the books,” Trump said.
On the other hand, Joe said he won’t pardon his son, possibly because he wanted to make the witchhunt trials against Trump legitimate.
