New York Times: Election Live Updates: Harris Keeps Up Media Push After ‘60 Minutes’ Interview @realtegan@wandering.shop: I listened to the Kamala Harris interview on the podcast Call Her Daddy (which I'd never heard of before this) and was impressed. She connected. She didn't rant, barely used her talking points, and spoke plainly and clearly about issues important to people. …

@kevinrothrock@infosec.exchange: Harris tells 60 Minutes what Kyiv wants to hear about possible U.S.-Russian peace talks: no bilateral talks, ie nothing without Ukraine. However, she dodges on NATO membership, saying her administration will address the issue “if and when it arrives.” https://www.cbsnews.com/...

Richard Stengel /
@stengel: Harris is not playing-it-safe with her media strategy but playing-it-smart. There are no undecided or stay-at-home voters watching the cable news networks or the Sunday shows. How do you reach voters who don't follow the news? Well, not on news shows, that's for sure.

@audiecornish: Sorry haters. The Call Her Daddy interview was well conducted. Questions delivered were smart and straightforward. There are a lot journos who have lost the plot about why candidates are doing this. Absolutely some of it is to escape tough questioning. Also/And...
Max Tani /
@maxwelltani: I think for years some in national media assumed that politicians did interviews because they at least somewhat agreed that they were accountable to the public, when the reality was that national media was just the most efficient way to reach the most people.
Brian Stelter /
@brianstelter: News from the Kamala Harris campaign this morning: Harris is going on The View, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Howard Stern Show on Tuesday. (Plus, as previously reported, she's on the 60 Minutes election special on Monday and doing a Univision town hall on Thursday.) Balloon Juice: Call Her Daddy — Cheryl at LGM posted about Kamala Harris' interview on the podcast called Call Her Daddy.

@victorshi2020: Hear me out: More people my age have texted me personally saying they listened to VP Harris on Alex Cooper Call Her Daddy podcast compared to any other legacy media source. And they say they now know VP Harris so much better. The Harris campaign knows what it's doing.
Ed Kane Cudahy /
@jaspertylerkane: She never avoided the media. She had her own plan that didn't include your rag
Laura Chapin /
@laurachapin: VP Harris did an interview with the Call Her Daddy podcast that ranks second only to Joe Rogan on Spotify, averages 5 million listeners weekly, and reaches millions of young women 18-34. That will reach a whole lot more voters than talking to Politico.

@nancytwinmama: Wild to say, but the Call Her Daddy interview was the most meaningful I've heard from a politician ever. For once, women & women's issues were centered. DV, child care, health care, abortion, economic freedom for women, all spoken in depth & w/o interruption. Excellent interview. @qondintini: All the critiques about VP Kamala Harris not doing “serious interviews” miss how this convo, on “Call Her Daddy” on VP using the government to rectify the power imbalance of abuse/ control, is better than the gotcha “serious journalist” interviews [video]
Peter D. Kramer /
@peterdkramer: I saw this on-friendly-turf teaser and wondered, what are the odds that the story is by @reidepstein? I mean, Harris is going on 60 Minutes, not known for a softball approach. In @nytimes, it's not just the headlines, it's the tone of the reporting. https://www.nytimes.com/... [image]
Morgan Murphy /
@morgan_murphy: Call Her Daddy is arguably Kamala's biggest “show” to date. Just because a podcast isn't your thing doesn't mean it hasn't spent years surpassing your thing in popularity. Twitter has long been behind on media # shifts over the past decade & is perpetually surprised as a result. @amy_siskind: It dropped! Harris interviewed on most popular podcast for women, Call Her Daddy. She's also doing the View, 60 Minutes, Howard Stern and more this week. LFG!!! 🩵💙 https://podcasts.apple.com/...
Aaron Parnas /
@aaronparnas: Kamala Harris doesn't need to do a 30 minute interview with a CNN reporter when she can do a 30 minute interview on Call Her Daddy and reach many more voters. It's really that simple.
Randall Barnes /
@authorrandallb: Kamala Harris has and will interview with: -Howard Stern -Rickey Smiley -Call Her Daddy -Matt Barnes & Stephen Jackson (All The Smoke) -Oprah -60 Minutes -The View -Stephen Colbert -Dana Bash/CNN -Stephanie Ruhle/MSNBC -Univision But I'm told she isn't doing media. 🙄
Jesse Ferguson /
@jessefferguson: DATA: Kamala Harris needs to reach people who are lower information & less involved in politics PUNDITS: Why isn't she doing that? HARRIS: Let's go on the largest audiences of real people (The View, Howard Stern, 60 Minutes, Call Her Daddy, Colbert) PUNDITS: More Sunday shows!

This week she's on The View, Howard Stern & the most popular podcast for women (esp the 18-40 set) that I'd never heard of until now: Call Her Daddy with Alex Cooper. …

But it also shows how Dems lag behind Republicans in terms of online mobilization and interaction. Trump has been streaming with influencers for months.

@djjohnmichael@threads.net: Kamala on Call Her Daddy is such a home run. I was only vaguely familiar with Alexandra Cooper from clips I've seen on TikTok, but she's an excellent interviewer here and worth the watch. And now I have a new podcast to listen to 👏🏻👏🏻
Vanessa /
@prpeep@threads.net: Call Her Daddy was not something I was familiar with (I am not a podcast listener at all). But the amount of people announcing their disappointment/departure in their comments is sending me. Almost entirely white women, bc of course. 🙄 Anyway, I'm glad Kamala went on that show because she is clearly reaching new people she wouldn't have otherwise. …
