The rumor originated with Wisconsin podcaster John Egan, who posted on social media that Jacke had allegedly withdrawn support from Trump in favor of Harris. Jacke, however, clarified his stance in a direct response.

“Obviously, I was born with a brain and have not endorsed that nut job!!!” Jacke stated in response to the rumor.

He further advised his followers to “unfollow/block John as I did some time ago! MAGA.”

The NFL Hall of Fame kicker reiterated his commitment to supporting Trump’s campaign, refuting any claims associating him with Harris.


Egan, who initially posted the claim on X, formerly known as Twitter, later said that Jacke had blocked him on the platform.

Egan expressed frustration about being unable to reply directly to Jacke’s rebuttal post.

Musk-owned X also tagged Egan’s post with a community note to clarify the false information, pointing out that Jacke had not endorsed Harris.

Egan then clarified, “It’s insane this is still making the rounds as a serious tweet,” explaining that the original post was intended as a joke. He added, “Within hours, I said it was a joke. It didn’t hit until days later, and people still pretend it wasn’t.”

Meanwhile, the Harris campaign is encountering challenges as it struggles to rally support and shift public focus to its platform.

Future Forward, a super PAC supporting Harris, recently expressed concerns that her campaign had focused too heavily on attacking Trump’s character without effectively addressing voters’ concerns.

Harris has recently faced backlash for her rhetoric, including statements likening Trump’s influence to that of Hitler, which drew criticism from some supporters who felt the comparison was overly extreme.

In contrast, Trump’s campaign maintains a rigorous event schedule, with the former president attending numerous rallies and campaign stops.

Trump allies have noted the difference in energy levels, highlighting the number of appearances Trump has made compared to Harris.

Future Forward observed that while Harris has criticized Trump as “exhausted,” the former president has maintained a visibly active presence on the campaign trail.

The “Trump War Room” account on X shared images this week of Harris appearing fatigued, including a photo of her yawning while looking out the window of a helicopter. The caption read, “Kamala is exhausted — cracking under the rigors of a presidential campaign after being installed as a nominee who didn’t earn a single vote. Yikes!”

As both campaigns ramp up for the coming election, Jacke’s remarks underscore the polarized political atmosphere.

Harris’s campaign faces scrutiny not only from her opponents but also from within her support base, where concerns about her message and energy levels are mounting.

Trump, meanwhile, continues to maintain a high-profile presence, focusing on voter engagement and mobilization in key battleground states.
