Trump Leverages Wrestling Icons and Controversial Rhetoric in 2024 Campaign

Donald Trump, seeking to return to the White House, taps into wrestling culture and controversial narratives to engage voters and amplify his campaign message.

Former WWE stars like Hulk Hogan and The Undertaker are publicly supporting Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, with Trump using wrestling podcasts to reach key demographics.
Trump's recent appearance on The Undertaker's podcast featured discussions on wrestling and politics, where he continued to spread unsubstantiated claims about trans athletes.
The podcast appearance is part of a broader strategy to engage young and apolitical male voters through unconventional media channels and social media.
Trump's campaign is focusing on creating memorable media moments, including stunts like working at a McDonald's drive-through to challenge Vice President Kamala Harris's claims.
Despite facing criticism for his rhetoric and behavior, Trump's campaign is gaining traction, with some polls indicating he is closing the gap against Harris.
