From Fox News to Joe Rogan, Harris has a plan: win

Fox News, Joe Rogan's podcast — these are the types of outlets you'd expect Republicans to frequent. However, Vice President Kamala Harris confirmed the first and would be close to confirming the second. So what the hell is going on?

Joy, that's it.

On Tuesday, Daily Kos is an offer overview Harris' recent and upcoming media schedule.

(W)hill (Donald) Trump limited himself to interviews with friendly media outlets like Fox News, Harris Media Blitz Chatting with a wide range of outlets and hosts. He appeared “View“,” “The Last Show with Stephen Colbert“ “The Howard Stern Show”, and popular podcasts “Call her father”, among other places.

He should do that too An interview with Fox News' Brett Baer on Wednesday. Trump, who accused Harris of “hiding,” complained about this on his Truth social account.

He also appeared on “60 Minutes,” which was very scary for Trump.

Now “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the country’s most popular podcast, may be available. Reuters on Tuesday Report Harris' team recently met with Rogan about an appearance. The move appears to be part of his appeal to young people, who make up a large portion of Rogan's audience.

Noticeably absent from Harris's recent media success is The New York Times, which whimpered in August about his refusal to sit down with them and other national political media outlets.

And it was the smart decision. Harris has one job: to win elections. Nothing else matters at this moment.

You don't like that former vice president Dick Cheney supported Harris? No matter what happens. If big-name Republicans reluctantly support him to avoid a second Trump administration, great.

You don't like that Approved Cryptocurrencies? No matter what happens. If it helps attract or at least neutralize the tech brethren who would otherwise follow the billionaire Elon Musk Let's go MAGA, then great.

Don't you like how President Joe Biden was kicked out of the race? No matter what happens. If you want to express your anger, do it after the election.

Don't you like those things or those things that no one else cares about? No matter what happens. Your job is not to create you I'm glad he got your vote because you know what's going on. Your job is to make sure that the small group of qualified votes is enough to win the election.

We can argue about politics and vibes after the election. Right now, the only thing that matters is winning. Can we all agree? And focused on Harris and her campaign.

Rogan's Show and “Call Her Daddy,” Harris would hit two of the top podcasts in the country, reaching millions.

“Call Her Daddy” focused heavily on women, helping Harris build support among a key constituency. There is one of the women who has never been married Minimum voting feeAbout 39% between 1998 and 2022, compared to about 62% of married women (with current husbands) during the same period. and 72% of female voters who have never married Lean Democrat. Married women? Fifty percent are thin Republicans and 45% are thin Democrats. Harris absolutely must believe he never married.

Meanwhile, Rogan’s podcast is “71% male and evenly split between high school and post-secondary graduates. 57% of its listeners earn more than $50,000 a year, 19% earn more than $100,000. The average age of its audience was 24,” according to the media analytics company Media Monitor.

We all know the problem Democrats are having with men these days, facing a gender disparity that persists across all racial and ethnic groups. D 2020 Exit Surveys show that Trump won 61% of white men, 19% of black men (compared to just 9% of black women), and 36% of Latino men (compared to 30% of Latinos).

Harris needs to minimize Trump's appeal to these groups as much as possible. A point here or there can make all the difference, not just the race, but also the criticality Race for Senate This would determine control of the chamber, especially in Florida, Montana, Nebraska and Texas. You better believe that if we win any of these races, it will be by triple- and four-digit margins.

And who knows if it's in the cards, but Rogan's endorsement would resonate far beyond the show's audience. You don't like Rogan? Nor do I care. See above. Winning is the only thing.

And then there's Fox News.

Yes, Fox News… I strongly oppose democratic participation in anything to do with Fox News. It legitimizes the right’s main propaganda machine.

but who cares? What matters now is winning.

recently, A Blueprint poll It found that 36% of those who voted for Nikki Haley in this year's Republican presidential primary or would prefer her to be the nominee said they would support Harris in November, compared to 45% who plan to support Trump. But 13% remain undecided.

In Pennsylvania Republican primaryAround 159,000 people voted for Haley, who was gave up More than a month ago. Thirteen percent of that is closer to 21,000. In Wisconsin PrimaryAbout 77,000 people supported Haley – and 13% of that equates to about 10,000. If the elections are as close as they are expected to be, these numbers will certainly be part of a winning Harris coalition, and Fox's initiative to reach these voters is well worth the investment.

And it's not just about capturing Haley voters. D A steady stream of current and former Republicans Harris' lineup is there, show and Republicans who care about our democracy and common decency, and are willing to hold their noses at the Democratic ticket, even if just this once. And heck, after breaking that seal, they might even realize that voting blue wasn't so bad after all! It's worth trying to penetrate the Republican core.

As a bonus, it further alienates Trump. How people are perceiving strange Your behavior is becoming. And on Monday, he declared war on Fox News.

“Neil Cavuto is one of the worst shows on television — and has the worst ratings on Fox News,” Trump said. he wrote It's true on social platforms. “Fake news, CNN people are good!”

In another, also on Monday, he lost his temper when announcing Harris' interview on Fox News, post“Lynn' Kamala Harris wisely chose Fox News' Brett Baer to give a much-needed interview because he is considered 'fair and balanced,' though often too soft on the left of the 'cocktail circuit.'” I would love to see more hard-hitting journalists, but Fox has become so weak and soft on Democrats, constantly polluting the airwaves with endless orange reps, that it no longer matters. Hopefully people will understand come November 5th, early voting. Make America Great Again!”

And then there was that Table against the entire network:

How much time does Lin' Kamala Harris' senior advisor Ian Sams spend at Fox News? He's now on Cavuto, Fox's lowest-rated show, and spent most of the weekend on “TRUMP,” completely unopposed, two true “beauties” Eric Sean and Arthel Neville – not broadcasting's next Walter Cronkite . ! Sams is a regular guy with memorized fake news catchphrases, almost all of them wrong, but combined with other spokespeople for Fox's Harris Radical Left Democrat (Richard Fowler, Patrick Murphy, “something” Wolff, Jessica Tarloff?), It's very negative in the election. Think about it, I spent an hour with the wonderful Maria Bartiromo, did a good job, and then spent the rest of the day following one-sided, negative Democrats, including Ian Sams, who practically owns the network. It's not worth interviewing Fox, because she averages everything. FoxNews has completely lost its way!

In addition to its potential electoral benefits, Harris' appearance on Fox News would be justified by its destabilizing effect on Trump's state of mind. He's So Overworked He Cuts a Town Hall on Monday Night Standing on stage like an idiot for 39 minutes While the music plays on the sound system. This is not an effective campaign, especially in the last few months of the campaign.

While Harris works to broaden her appeal, Trump retreats further into his media bubble, which may no longer include Fox News. He announced this on Tuesday To go back A CNBC interviewer, perhaps afraid to answer questions about Excellent stock market After making a promise In 2020 That if Biden is elected, he will collapse-The same thing he promises now But about Harris. Plus Fox News Might Even Shake You Over Coal Your Cuckoo tariff planSome even Maria Bartiromo from Fox News I called him.

Trump is retreating, withdrawing and hiding. And while we don't have to like it, Harris has a plan to win — and he's executing it.
