Vice President Kamala Harris has recently recorded an interview with ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast hosted by Alex Cooper. As the Harris campaign confirmed that she sat down for the interview this Tuesday, she came under massive scrutiny and judgement for her decision mostly on two counts. First, she avoided mainstream media while being generous to podcasts; two, America was braving through Hurricane Helene at the time the vice president chose to sit down with ‘Call Her Daddy’.And also, as the name suggests, the platform is sexually explicit and raunchy.
Harris and her running mate Tim Walz have so far done a combined 24 interviews and Harris has not held a formal press conference since she replaced President Joe Biden as the Democrat nominee. ‘Call Her Daddy’ is the most-listened to podcast by women on Spotify and Kamala Harris will be speaking about abortion. Donald Trump and JD Vance gave 63 combined interviews in the same time frame, reports said.
“Kamala reportedly taped an episode of “Call Her Daddy” — a podcast on women’s sexual relationships — two days ago, as Hurricane disaster recovery was ongoing with bodies being found left and right. This should be career ending,” a disapproving post on X read.
“This show was Kamala’s priority,” another wrote.
“WTF! As people were losing their lives from Helene, Kamala decided to go onto a podcast called “Call Her Daddy” to talk about sexual relationships. This should be CAREER ENDING! She doesn’t care about everyday Americans,” one wrote.
Cooper began the podcast in 2018 on Barstool Sports, but after the show exploded in popularity she was offered a $60 million a year contract to join Spotify in 2021 — and recently signed a $125 million three-year contract with SiriusXM. Over time, the sex and dating gab fest has evolved, tackling broader social conversations and, now, a presidential candidate.
