John Morgan, a former major Democratic mega-donor, said Wednesday night that President elect-Donald Trump’s son, Barron, is “smarter” than Vice President Kamala Harris and her entire campaign.

Harris has reportedly told her advisers that she is “staying in the fight” and is considering whether to launch another presidential campaign in 2028 or run for governor in California when Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s term ends, according to a Monday report by Politico. Morgan, an attorney who has grown increasingly critical of Harris’ campaign, argued that Barron Trump is smarter than anyone on the Harris campaign by encouraging his father to appear on popular podcasts, notably “The Joe Rogan Experience,” ahead of the election.

“[Harris] has no talent,” Morgan told Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany. “She can never run for president again, she ran once and got zero delegates, she got 8% in California. I begged them not to put her up. She was gonna be tethered to Biden no matter what, that was a zero sub-goin for her. But, she thought that all these votes were for her, they were not. The votes she got were people voting against Trump and the votes that Trump got were the people voting for Trump. What the Harris campaign should’ve done, instead of avoiding Joe Rogan and podcasts, it turns out that Barron Trump, who looks like a runway model, was telling his father you need to go on podcasts, you need to go on Joe Rogan. [Trump] was 3 hours late to a rally because he was doing Joe Rogan because that was so important.”

“So Barron Trump is a lot smarter than everybody in the Harris [campaign],” Morgan continued. “They said they didn’t go on Joe Rogan, the progressives around her … the progressive didn’t want [Harris] to go on Joe Rogan. Look, if I’m running, I’m going on Joe Rogan, I’m living on Fox [News]. That’s how you change minds. They played ‘hide the ball,’ they lost badly, she should go away and never, ever come back.”

During his Oct. 25 interview on Rogan’s podcast, Trump credited his 18-year-old son for convincing him to appear on Rogan, Theo Von’s show and other widely streamed podcasts that are popular among Generation Z voters. Trump’s interview with Rogan reached 52 million views as of Friday, and garnered millions of views prior to the Nov. 5 election.

“I have a son who’s very smart and tall — Barron. And he knows all about you, he knows about guys I’ve never heard of,” Trump told Rogan. “He said, ‘Dad, you don’t know how big they are, they’re big.’ I said, ‘Who the hell is he?’ … It’s a whole new world out there. But you know, I’m on TikTok now.”

Harris’ plans to appear on “The Joe Rogan Experience” fell apart after they requested that the podcaster travel to her and hold the interview for one hour, Rogan said on X. The popular show host explained that the most efficient way to conduct the interview would be to hold it at his home studio in Austin, Texas, for the usual time span of approximately three hours.

Rogan’s podcast, which consists of 18.6 million subscribers on YouTube, has an audience that is 80% male viewers, with 51% falling between the ages of 18-34, according to Edison Research. The podcast appearances helped Trump win by significant droves with male voters, while Harris received criticism for not making enough appearances on podcasts to reach the young, and primarily male demographic.
