When Joe Rogan predicted Joe Biden will pull out of 2024 elections and speculated the new Democrat nominee
Joe Rogan had already predicted the cancelation of Joe Biden's candidature months in advance.
During episode #2132 of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the veteran UFC sportscaster discussed the upcoming US presidential election with comedian Andrew Schulz. Rogan speculated that Biden would be replaced by California Governor Gavin Newsome, stating:
"I think he has got till May. I feel like right around May they are going to pull him. I think he just has health problems and the country understands and [Gavin] Newsome is going to have his support fully and Kamala is going be [like], 'I don't want to be president, I'm cool with being vice president', Yeah, I don't think they can pull Kamala."

While Rogan's prediction about Biden stepping down was spot on, his speculation about the alternate candidate failed to come true.
Earlier this week, Biden released a statement on his socials confirming that he was officially stepping down as the Democrat candidate. Furthermore, the incumbent POTUS extended his full support to his VP Kamala Harris who has since stepped in, in his stead.
The pressure for the 81-year-old to step down has been increasing for quite some time. According to a report by ABC News, the number of Democrat congressional members who wanted Biden to drop out had reached at least 40 in recent weeks.
The change in candidature comes ahead of the Democrat National Convention scheduled to be held in Chicago from Sep.19-22.

Ex-CIA officer predicts Kamala Harris' win on Joe Rogan podcast
Former CIA officer Mike Baker believes there needs to be the perfect storm for Donald Trump to get re-elected to the Oval Office, and as such he believes Kamala Harris would be the next president of the US.
Talking to Joe Rogan on episode #2147 of the JRE, Baker claimed it was doubtful if the Democrats would choose Harris as the presidential candidate. However, he also stated that if she is given candidature, she would most definitely fetch the win in the upcoming election:
"So she'll be president. This is my theory... I think what is going to happen is that you have to have a perfect storm for Trump to win, in terms of the Independence, suburban moms, you have to have enough people come back to the tent to vote for him. I don't know if I have enough confidence that, that's going to happen. So we end up with President Biden and Harris again, which means we will have president Harris."
