I try not to follow the major parasocial internet personalities, but wouldn't the appearance of a sitting VP and possible future president be a large bump to Rogan's projected image of being smart and important? I would expect that to outweigh any risks of his audience not liking him doing it in the first place. If the audience wasn't receptive enough to Harris then she wouldn't see any benefit from trying to do so in the first place, after all.

Unless he decides to completely change the direction of his show the idea of being smart and important has limited utility to him. Even if the interview happens, it'll be a one-off or two-off if he interviews Trump as well and the vast majority of his interview subjects will continue to be MMA fighters and comedians.

If 20% of Rogan's audience is receptive to Harris, 60% hates her and 20% doesn't care either way, his audience is big enough that it makes sense for her to do his show. But its risky for him to do it.
