Following the Republican defeat in the US midterm elections, leading conservative podcasters, including Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, and Theo Von, are turning their backs on President Donald Trump and harshly criticizing his policies. Rogan, who supported Trump in 2024 and was considered a decisive factor in mobilizing young male voters, criticized the war in Iran and the enforcement operations of the immigration authority. According to him, the administration has lost the podcast community and most of the country. The article notes a deep shift among young men aged 18-29, who moved left by more than 30 points. Commentators like Matt Walsh declared that 'the Trump chapter is over,' and Steve Bannon predicted a civil war within the Republican Party. Rogan praised parts of Trump's agenda, such as border closure, but expressed frustration with the association with the far right.
