Andrew Yang says Kamala Harris made a major misstep during the campaign … claiming she should’ve spent a few hours in Austin, Texas — speaking to Joe Rogan!
The 2020 presidential candidate stopped by “TMZ Live” Friday to talk about why Democrats performed so poorly in this election … and, we asked him if he thinks Kamala messed up by turning down an interview on “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

AY says he thinks Kamala and her VP candidate, Tim Walz, would’ve done well on the show … adding they would’ve gotten votes and put behind any rumors they were hiding something.

We also asked Yang if he thinks Donald Trump will take Rogan’s advice and not go after Democrats … take a listen for yourself — Andrew isn’t holding his breath.
Seems Andrew Yang thinks the road to the White House runs through Joe Rogan!!!
