Harris&#8217;s \u200cown campaign advisers expressed concerns about internal backlash from progressive staff regarding\u2062 the interview, though\u200b timing and scheduling conflicts \u200dplayed a \u2063significant role in \u2063the cancellation. Rogan\u2063 had hoped to discuss various topics,\u2064 including marijuana legalization, a controversial subject for Harris given her past \u2062as \u2063a prosecutor. After the election, critics suggested Harris&#8217;s \u200cabsence \u200bfrom the podcast was a missed chance\u200c for dialogue, especially as Trump&#8217;s appearance on \u2062the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">show gained\u2062 immense popularity<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">What we now know about the Rogan-Harris interview that never happened<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1867903\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Kamala Harris<\/a>&rsquo;s crushing loss on Election Day was due in part to her inability to win over male voters, many of whom tune in to the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-rogan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Joe Rogan Experience<\/a><\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>While her victorious rival President-elect Donald Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3204534\/trump-makes-very-late-entrance-to-michigan-rally-after-joe-rogan-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">appeared<\/a> on the popular Spotify podcast, Harris did not, though Rogan&rsquo;s audience of millions represented a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/so-excited-emails-show-local-librarians-recruiting-drag-performers-for-kids\/\" title=\"\u2018So Excited\u2019: Emails Show Local Librarians Recruiting Drag Performers For Kids\">significant voting bloc<\/a> she needed to win over ahead of the election.<\/p>\n<p>Here&rsquo;s everything you need to know about the high-profile interview the vice president never showed up to.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Vice President Kamala Harris, left, and podcast host Joe Rogan, right.

One of those topics was marijuana legalization, an issue the vice president took flak about on the campaign trail.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;She didn&rsquo;t want to talk about marijuana legalization, which I thought was hilarious,&rdquo; Rogan said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Harris has long supported cannabis legalization, including during her campaign against Trump, but was criticized for prosecuting people using the drug during her time as a San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general. Under Harris&rsquo;s tenure, there were 1,956 convictions for misdemeanor and felony marijuana offenses, per an analysis from the<em> Bay Area News Group.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Rogan said he eventually extended an &ldquo;open invitation&rdquo; to the Harris campaign, saying he didn&rsquo;t care what they talked about or couldn&rsquo;t discuss, as long as the vice president consented to do the interview.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I would love to talk to her about all kinds of s***. I literally said, because there were a few restrictions of things they didn&rsquo;t want to talk about, but I said, &lsquo;I don&rsquo;t give a f***; get her in here,&rsquo;&rdquo; he said during a podcast episode last week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Progressive staffers <\/h2>\n<p>Harris faced internal opposition from some members of her staff for considering sitting down with Rogan, according to senior Harris campaign adviser Jennifer Palmieri.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/carson-points-out-that-every-democratic-plan-has-backfired-in-trumps-favor-as-seen-in-the-bible-2\/\" title=\"Carson points out that every Democratic plan has backfired in Trump&#039;s favor, as seen in the Bible\">vice president&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s own team members were concerned about reactions to doing the interview from within the Democratic Party according to Palmieri&rsquo;s comments to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/9292db59-8291-4507-8d86-f8d4788da467\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><em>Financial Times<\/em><\/a>  on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;There was a backlash with some of our progressive staff that didn&rsquo;t want her to be on it and how there would be a backlash,&rdquo; she said.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, a report from the <em>Washington Post<\/em> pushed back against suggestions that the concerns were the primary reason Harris declined to do the interview.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Big issue was timing,&rdquo; Michael Scherer said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/michaelscherer\/status\/1856801454742438053\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">post<\/a> on X.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This does not match my reporting on Harris\/Rogan.
