Even though Joe Rogan now lives in Texas, he still has thoughts on who he wants to be the next mayor of Los Angeles.

During a new episode of his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, which featured guest Spencer Pratt, the former kickboxer revealed that he’s backing the reality star’s campaign. Rogan has previously endorsed Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.

Earlier this year, Pratt announced that he’s hoping to unseat Karen Bass, who is running for reelection, in this year’s elections. The Hills alum, who is married to Heidi Montag, has been very critical of Bass after his family lost their home in the 2025 Palisades fire, blaming her for fire recovery issues and water shortages.

During his recent appearance on Rogan’s podcast, Pratt opened up about why he decided to throw his hat in the 2026 L.A. mayoral race. After, that’s when the host said, “Listen, man, I’m voting for you.”

However, Rogan, who left California for Texas in 2020, clarified, “[Well] I can’t vote for you, but I’m rooting for you. I mean, if I lived in Los Angeles, no question whatsoever, I would vote for you.”

Pratt was clearly elated to get the influential and controversial podcaster’s support. He wrote on Facebook after, “An honor being on with the GOAT, @joerogan. My goal is to make LA so awesome, we can win him back from Texas.”

Pratt initially announced his mayoral campaign in January, during a neighborhood rally focused on accountability for the Palisades fire. “Business as usual is a death sentence for Los Angeles, and I’m done waiting for someone to take real action,” he said on stage at the time. “That’s why I am running for mayor. Let me be clear: This isn’t a campaign, this is a mission. We’re going to expose the system, we’re going into every dark corner of the city and disinfect it with our light, and when we are done L.A. is going to be camera-ready again.”
