Harris Talks Women’s Rights and Trump on Call Her Daddy Podcast

Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on a new episode of the popular Call Her Daddy podcast that aired Sunday.

The Details: The interview with host Alex Cooper ran over 40 minutes and was heavily themed around women’s rights and abortion, including Harris’ opponent, former President Donald Trump’s track record on the issues. Cooper has since said she also invited Trump for an interview.

For Context: Call Her Daddy is particularly popular with young women and is often centered around sex, dating, relationships, and mental health. It first aired in 2018 and was previously owned by Barstool Sports. In June 2021, Cooper signed an exclusive distribution deal with Spotify worth $60 million. In August 2024, she signed a new $125 million distribution deal with SiriusXM. Harris has faced scrutiny for not doing enough media interviews but is slated to appear in interviews with Stephen Colbert, Howard Stern, and The View on October 8.

How the Media Covered It: Most outlets on the left framed the story through the contents of the discussion, like Harris’ women’s rights stances and criticisms of Trump. Coverage on the right was split. Some framed headlines through the same lenses as outlets on the left, while others highlighted backlash Cooper faced for the interview or accusations that Harris is taking interviews more likely to be friendly to her.
