Kamala expands media offensive in search of votes

The Vice President of the United States and Democratic Party candidate for the White House, Kamala Harris, who after announcing her candidacy gave almost no interviews, has expanded her media offensive in recent weeks to reach new audiences through podcasts and late-night television programs .

The most obvious example of this change in strategy was his participation this Sunday (7) on the podcast “Call Her Daddy”, presented by Alexandra Cooper and very popular among women of generations Y and Z.

The podcast, according to the Democrat’s campaign in an email message this Monday (7), was the “second most listened to on Spotify in 2023” and the one with the largest audience among women.

In the conversation, the opponent of the former president and Republican Party candidate for the White House, Donald Trump, in the November 5 presidential elections, spoke about her party’s defense of abortion and her own aspirations.

This interview will be followed by another on Monday night (7) on the program “60 Minutes”, of the television network CBS Newsand others in the programs “The View”, “The Howard Stern Show”, “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and at a meeting with Latino voters organized by the TV station Univision later this week.

The Democratic Party candidate continues to lead some polls of voting intentions. According to the average number of searches prepared by the portal FiveThirtyEightshe leads Trump by 2.5 percentage points at the federal level, although in key states the gap is very tight.

Since the country’s president, Joe Biden, dropped out of the re-election race on July 21, Kamala has spoken to some journalists and even digital influencers, but only gave her first formal interview on August 29, an absence that was largely criticized by his opponents.
