Citing sources, Reuters reported on Tuesday that Harris campaign staff has been in talks with Rogan's team, However, the interview date has not been finalised yet.

As Rogan enjoys the following of millions of devoted listeners, appearing on his podcast would provide Harris a chance to connect with her supporters, especially Black male voters, whom she is actively pursuing with her most recent policy recommendations.

According to the report, Harris' campaign is additionally arranging an interview with Fox News, a network notable for its conservative programming that frequently backs Republican contender Donald Trump.
