Harris slammed for 'Call Her Daddy' podcast appearance amid insufficient aid for Hurricane Helene relief
WASHINGTON, DC: Vice President Kamala Harris is facing criticism for her recent appearance on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast amid growing disapproval over insufficient federal aid for Hurricane Helene relief efforts.
This controversy arises while communities in the impacted regions struggle with the substantial difficulties of recovering from the hurricane's destruction.
Harris appeared on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, hosted by Alex Cooper, to engage in a conversation about reproductive rights.
She recorded the podcast, popular among young female listeners, on Tuesday, October 1. The episode is scheduled to be released next week, although the exact day has not been specified by the campaign.
Kamala Harris emphasizes engagement with younger audience
The vice president has participated in various podcasts and radio shows, yet she has faced criticism for the number of media interviews she has conducted, The Hill reported.
After becoming the Democratic presidential nominee, she has given interviews to MSNBC and CNN and has also been part of a panel with the National Association of Black Journalists.
The campaign described Cooper's show as a cultural phenomenon due to its millions of listeners and extensive social media influence, making it an ideal platform for discussing abortion access.
The campaign highlighted Harris' participation as emphasizing the significance of engaging with younger audiences. Cooper became a well-known figure following her involvement with NBC's Olympics coverage in Paris this summer.
