Finally, the search for the “left’s Joe Rogan” is over.

It’s been settled, so look no further. It was always going to be …

Jaime Harrison? Wait, who? Jaime Harrison? You never heard of Jaime Harrison? Like, the Jaime Harrison? (Subscribe to MR. RIGHT, a free weekly newsletter about modern masculinity)

I talked to @harrisonjaime about his new, official job as The Democratic Joe Rogan, and that Hunter Biden interview https://t.co/24gLFLP3d7

Perhaps most famous for his failed Senate bid and failed tenure as Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair, Jaime Harrison has announced that his new podcast, “At Our Table,” will launch on Thursday. His first episodes will feature interviews with Hunter Biden and Democratic politicians like Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn.

HAHAHA. I’ll never forget that Jamie Harrison incinerated more than $130 million in his failed Senate run in 2020 only to be rewarded with the opportunity to drive the DNC into the ground.

Thank you Jamie for your service.

Democrats actually think a former party hack will be as popular and compelling as Joe Rogan, and they simply cannot get it through their thick skulls: re-creating someone like Rogan is impossible. (RELATED: Democrats Are Getting Their Whole New Strategy Entirely Wrong)

Repeat: you cannot re-create a Joe Rogan figure, no matter how much money you throw behind the person.

Rogan became popular because he was himself. He was authentic and not born in the world of politics. He never intended to become a podcast star who could influence politics. He started by having long, meandering conversations with friends on a variety of topics, sometimes taboo, that legacy media outlets never discussed or even acknowledged.

Democrats would be better off starting a podcast with an AI hologram of Anthony Bourdain than giving Jaime Harrison a microphone. If not that, then they should consider appearing on popular podcasts that already exist.

Harrison knows he won’t be “the left’s Joe Rogan.” He’s just hoping the media uses that phrase to gin up publicity for his pod.
