Kamala Harris’ appearance on the popular sex podcast “Call Her Daddy” has been ridiculed by conservative commentators – and the public at large. While most views of the show are via podcast, a video form of the interview was posted to YouTube – where 82% of ratings are negative.
The Vice President’s 40-minute interview with host Alex Cooper seemed a bizarre setting for Harris to engage with would-be voters, and not many ended up tuning in.
Nevertheless, the Democratic nominee is shadowing the strategy implemented by Donald Trump’s campaign. The Republican has frequented popular podcasts for over a year, allowing him to reach a wider audience than traditional media outlets would allow.
Harris, however, has not enjoyed the same positive reaction from her foray into podcasting. A major problem for the Democrat was that few people cared enough to watch the podcast, particularly when her figures are compared to Trump’s.
The former president’s appearances on Dr. Phil and Theo Vonn amassed more than 27 million and 14 million views respectively, while appearances elsewhere have regularly attracted several million viewers. Just take a look at how Trump has absolutely dwarfed Harris’ views:
To be fair, views on the Harris interview have since swelled to about 550k on YouTube since the tweet above was posted days ago, but it’s still barely a quarter the views of Trump’s lowest rated interview.
Harris also did a “podcast” style interview with “All the Smoke” – which has garnered only 520k views in 11 days. Seventy percent of reviews of the episode are negative.
The few who did tune into the Vice President’s podcast appearance were not best pleased with their viewing experience.
Many on social media speculated as to why Trump was attracting more viewers than Harris.
Another user disputed whether Harris’ campaign had lost momentum.
