As the 2024 presidential election nears, Vice President Kamala Harris is making a series of high-profile media appearances aimed at engaging diverse voter groups. This week, Harris will be featured on several platforms, including "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," "Call Her Daddy," and "The Howard Stern Show." These interviews come after President Joe Biden stepped down from the race, securing Harris the Democratic nomination.
Harris's appearance on "The Late Show" with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday marks her seventh visit to the show but her first since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee. The episode is highly anticipated as she continues to shape her public narrative heading into the final stretch of the campaign. In addition to her Colbert interview, she will be joining the immensely popular podcast "Call Her Daddy" with Alex Cooper. The episode, expected to be released on Sunday, will cover topics such as reproductive rights, an issue central to Harris's platform and one of particular importance to women voters.
The "Call Her Daddy" podcast, which has amassed a significant following among younger audiences, offers Harris an opportunity to connect with a demographic that prioritizes issues like healthcare, gender equality, and personal freedom. The show, known for its open discussions on dating, relationships, and modern culture, is now also delving into political and current events, broadening its appeal.
On Monday, Harris will also be featured on "60 Minutes," where she and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, will sit down with correspondent Bill Whitaker. This interview will provide insight into the duo's campaign strategies and their vision for the country. Harris’s Republican rival, Donald Trump, and his running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, were scheduled to participate but backed out last week.
Harris will also take to "The Howard Stern Show" and "The View" on Tuesday, further expanding her reach across various audiences. By combining appearances on traditional news programs with those on podcasts and platforms popular with younger and more progressive voters, Harris is mirroring a media strategy similar to former President Barack Obama.
Vice President Harris’s busy week underscores her campaign's commitment to utilizing both traditional and unconventional media channels to speak directly to voters as the election draws closer.
