Profitable, that’s what.
On Tuesday, Every day Kos provided an outline of Harris’ latest and upcoming media schedule.
[W]hile [Donald] Trump has confined himself to interviews with pleasant retailers like Fox Information, Harris has been on a media blitz talking to a wide selection of retailers and hosts. She has appeared on “The View,” “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” “The Howard Stern Show,” and the favored podcast “Call Her Daddy,” amongst different venues.
She can also be scheduled to do an interview with Fox Information’ Bret Baier on Wednesday. Trump, who has accused Harris of “hiding,” complained about it on his Fact Social account.
She additionally appeared on “60 Minutes,” which was too scary for Trump.
Now “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the nation’s hottest podcast, might be on faucet. On Tuesday, Reuters reported that Harris’ crew had not too long ago met with Rogan’s about an look. The transfer appears to be a part of her enchantment to younger males, who make up a big deal of Rogan’s viewers.
Conspicuously lacking from Harris’ latest media hits is The New York Occasions, which whined in August about her refusal to take a seat with them and different nationwide political retailers.
And it’s been the sensible name. Harris has one job: win the election. Nothing else issues at this level.
You don’t like that former Vice President Dick Cheney endorsed Harris? Doesn’t matter. If big-name Republicans reluctantly endorse her to keep away from a second Trump administration, then nice.
You don’t like that she endorsed cryptocurrency? Does not matter. If that helps appeal to or no less than neutralize tech bros who’d in any other case observe billionaire Elon Musk towards MAGA, then nice.

You don’t like how President Joe Biden was pushed out of the race? Doesn’t matter. If you wish to vent anger, do it after the election.
You don’t like this factor or that factor that nobody else cares about? Doesn’t matter. Her job isn’t to make you content. She’s obtained your vote as a result of you understand what’s up. Her job is to corral sufficient of the small group of gettable votes to win the election.
We will argue coverage and vibes after the election. Proper now, the one factor that issues is successful. Can all of us agree on that? And that’s what Harris and her marketing campaign are targeted on.
By doing Rogan’s present and “Call Her Daddy,” Harris can have hit the 2 prime podcasts within the nation, reaching tens of thousands and thousands.
“Call Her Daddy” is closely targeted on girls, serving to Harris shore up help amongst a key constituency. By no means-married girls have one of many lowest turnout charges, at roughly 39% between 1998 and 2022, in contrast with about 62% of married girls (with current spouses) throughout the identical time interval. And 72% of never-married feminine voters lean Democratic. Married girls? Fifty p.c lean Republican, and 45% lean Democratic. Harris completely must goose that never-married turnout.
In the meantime, Rogan’s podcast is “71% male and evenly split between high school and post-secondary graduates. Fifty seven percent of his audience reports earning over $50k per year, with 19% making over $100k. The average age of his listeners was 24,” in accordance with the media analytics firm Media Screens.
Everyone knows the troubles Democrats are having with males as of late, experiencing a gender hole that persists throughout all racial and ethnic teams. The 2020 exit polls present that Trump gained 61% of white males, 19% of Black males (in contrast with simply 9% of Black girls), and 36% of Latino males (in contrast with 30% of Latinas).
Harris wants to chop into Trump’s enchantment to those teams as a lot as she will be able to. A degree right here or there may make all of the distinction, not simply in her race, but in addition in crucial Senate races that may determine management of the chamber, significantly in Florida, Montana, Nebraska, and Texas. You higher imagine that if we win any of these races, it’ll be by three- or four-digit vote margins.

And who is aware of if it’s within the playing cards, however a Rogan endorsement would reverberate far past the present’s listenership itself. You don’t like Rogan? Me neither. Who cares. See above. Profitable is the one factor that issues.
However who cares? All that issues proper now’s successful.
Not too long ago, a ballot by Blueprint discovered that 36% of those that both voted for Nikki Haley on this yr’s Republican presidential primaries or would favor her because the nominee say they’ll again Harris in November, in contrast with 45% who plan to again Trump. However 13% stay undecided.
In Pennsylvania’s Republican main, almost 159,000 individuals voted for Haley, who had dropped out over a month earlier. 13 p.c of that’s near 21,000. In Wisconsin’s main, virtually 77,000 backed Haley—and 13% of that’s round 10,000. If the election is as shut as some concern, these numbers will surely be a part of a successful Harris coalition, and occurring Fox to succeed in these voters is effectively definitely worth the funding.
And it’s not simply the Haley voters up for grabs. The regular stream of present and former Republicans lining up for Harris exhibits there are Republicans who care about our democracy and customary decency, and are prepared to carry their noses for the Democratic ticket, even when simply this as soon as. And heck, after breaking that seal, they might even notice that voting blue wasn’t so unhealthy in any case! It’s effectively price making an attempt to chip into that Republican core.

After which there was this screed towards the complete community:
How a lot time does Ian Sams, Senior Advisor to Lyin’ Kamala Harris, spend on FoxNews? He’s now on Cavuto, Fox’s Lowest Rated Present, by far, and spent a lot of the weekend hitting “TRUMP,” completely unopposed, earlier than two actual “beauties,” Eric Shawn and Arthel Neville – Not precisely the subsequent Walter Cronkite of the Broadcasting World! Sams is only a under common man, with memorized FAKE NEWS soundbites, virtually all of that are WRONG, however coupled with all the different Harris Radical Left Democrat mouthpieces that Fox places on (Richard Fowler, Patrick Murphy, “something” Wolf, Jessica Tarloff?), it has a really damaging impact on the Election. Consider it, I spend an hour with the fantastic Maria Bartiromo, do a wonderful job, after which am adopted up all day lengthy by one-sided, damaging Democrats, together with Ian Sams, who just about owns the Community. It’s not worthwhile doing Interviews on Fox, as a result of all of it simply averages out into NOTHING. FoxNews has completely misplaced its manner!
Trump is regressing, retrenching, and hiding. And whereas we don’t have to love it, Harris has a plan to win—and she or he’s executing on it.
