Kamala Harris’s team has realized that “brat” vibes and coconut emojis alone won’t get them across the finish line in November.
After making avoidance of interviews a cornerstone of his campaign, his round has finally been decided. Talking to a real human being, not a teleprompter.
To talk about substantive issues.
Biden will be tested on his nearly four years in the White House, his record on the border and how he plans to lower the cost of living.
I am a child.
Harris is preparing for softball tour“The View’s” Stephen “Dancing Vaccine Needle” Colbert and Howard Stern meet the right haters of women: All ready to parade him because he’s not the evil orange guy.
on sunday he Was on Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy” podcastWhich is the home of celebrities talking about sex in such a dirty way that it would make Samantha Jones blush. This is where Katy Perry boasted Rewarding my fiancé Orlando Bloom with oral sex If she’s done with the housework, Brazilian pop star Anita and comedian Heather McMahon share their partner tips. christina aguilera once referred to myself As “Swallow’s Promoter” in the show.
Not a sharp political platform at all.
But it’s a safe space for Harris — who has been showered with soft-focus media features and flattered by her cooking and clothes — to once again be treated like a shining celebrity.
I’ve seen many Republicans dismiss the podcast, saying they’ve never heard of it. It is dishonest to claim that Cooper’s audience is not passionate, engaged, or massive; “Call Her Daddy” was the fourth most-listened-to podcast in the country in the second quarter of this year. According to Edison Research,
But how does that move the needle for Harris, who was preaching to her own choir of Gen Z women? (Although even they didn’t want to. Some listeners immediately took to social media to express displeasure Politics has entered their escapist space.)
On “Meet the Press” yesterday, Andrea Mitchell said Harris needs to do tough interviews, expose herself to harsh elements. “She has such a big problem with men…a big problem. But even the business world doesn’t think he is serious. “They don’t think he’s a heavyweight.”
So naturally, Veep went on “Call Her Daddy” – “Talking about things people really care about,” He said.
For a show that’s all about outlandish revelations, it was relatively boring and Harris played old hits: her empty platitudes about possibility and ambition – as if the American people were treating themselves like idiots in the absence of her confirmation. Understand.
A large part of the conversation focused on abortion, Cooper repeated fear-mongering lies about the tragic death of Georgia woman Amber Thurman from a septic infection, saying the 28-year-old woman died because doctors in the state were hesitant to treat her because of the six-week abortion ban Were, as Harris nodded. (Thurman’s family blames doctors, not the law.) Cooper then asked Harris if “there is any law that gives the government the power to make decisions about a person’s body.”
Harris laughed. “No. No, no, no, no, it’s, no.”
Perhaps a producer should have shouted, “Hey, what about the military draft?”
The Vice President also spoke about her advocacy for victims of sexual assault and domestic violence: “So the point is that someone being abused is something that we should all take seriously rather than saying it’s our job. Not there.”
Except, that is, if her own husband, Doug Emhoff, Has been accused of slapping an ex-girlfriend in 2012Beat up his child’s nanny and allegedly paid her $80,000. ,A spokesperson for Emhoff said of the slapping allegation, “The report is false.”)
One bright point was the response to Sarah Huckabee Sanders foolishly mocking Harris because she has no biological children. Harris defended the value of being a stepparent. It was humane, but did little to convince me that she could be Commander-in-Chief as the world is on fire.
There has also been a seismic shift in the media landscape since the 2020 race — and a wise candidate will sit down with a variety of legacy and independent media outlets. Podcasters and influencers.
They are excellent mediums for freely interacting with nuances. And it doesn’t always have to be combative.
But it must be led by someone with expertise. In her introduction, Cooper says she doesn’t get involved in politics and doesn’t interview politicians, which was apparently an attraction for Team Harris. no pressure. No deep knowledge of the issues. No pushing and shoving.
This was the place of Harris’s treatment. Women are one-dimensional creatures fed by pro-abortion rhetoric – an insult to our intelligence.
But Harris’s strategy is to create the illusion that she’s getting into it. And all this friendly, breezy talk hides and masks his lack of depth. We need him in more shows like this. “60 Minutes”, where Bill Whitaker pressed the Vice President about his economic plan, said what we’re all thinking:
“But we’re dealing with the real world here.”
