I have a minor in theatre They are not making them appear equal. The larger podium will make her appear smaller.
They could have used same size and positioned hers closer to the front of stage OTOH they may try that with the larger but then would not be able to take any full shots of stage because it would be very obvious on TV

The larger podium is for Trump. There is enough separation between the candidates, on the stage, that the difference in size isn't stark.
