On Fox News Wednesday, John Morgan, the founder of Morgan & Morgan, highlighted Barron Trump’s influence on his father, President-elect Donald Trump, during the 2024 election campaign. Morgan emphasized that Barron’s push for his father to appear on popular podcasts, including Joe Rogan’s, played a pivotal role in securing victory against Vice President Kamala Harris.
“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,’” Morgan remarked, crediting the strategy as a key factor in the election outcome.
Morgan criticized the Harris campaign for its lack of engagement with media platforms that resonate with broad audiences. Although Harris participated in several high-profile podcasts during her campaign, none matched the reach and influence of Joe Rogan’s show. Trump’s appearance on Rogan’s podcast on October 25 amassed over 50 million YouTube views, whereas Harris’ feature on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, uploaded October 6, struggled to cross 1 million views.
“Barron Trump is a lot smarter than everybody in the Harris [campaign],” Morgan added. He pointed to what he saw as a misstep by progressives, stating, “The progressives didn’t want to go on Joe Rogan.”
Morgan expressed harsh criticism of the Harris campaign strategy, claiming it lacked transparency and calling for Harris to step away from the political spotlight. “They played hide the ball, they lost badly, she should go away and never, ever come back,” he said.
He also dismissed Harris as an ineffective imitator of former President Barack Obama, who campaigned heavily on her behalf. “[Harris] thinks she’s Obama,” Morgan said. “She goes to Hawaii since Obama goes to Hawaii. She started talking like Obama, imitating Obama. She is not Barack Obama. She has no talent. She can never run for president again.”
Morgan, a former Democratic donor, revealed that he had previously advised against choosing Harris to replace Biden as the Democratic nominee. “She was going to be tethered to Biden no matter what,” he concluded, reflecting on what he viewed as her political liabilities.
