Harris joined ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast to talk abortion rights

Vice President Harris joined host Alex Cooper on her popular “Call Her Daddy” podcast for a discussion on reproductive rights, the campaign told The Hill. 

She sat Tuesday for the popular podcast among young, female listeners, and the episode is set to air next week, although the campaign did not specify the day. 

The vice president has joined other podcasts and radio shows but has received criticism over the amount of media interviews she has done. Since becoming the Democratic nominee for president, she has been interviewed by MSNBC and CNN and appeared on a panel with the National Association of Black Journalists. 

The campaign called Cooper’s show a cultural phenomenon, noting it has millions of listeners and significant social media reach, which is why they saw it as a prime forum to discuss abortion access. 

The campaign also said Harris appearing on it underscores the importance of connecting with younger audiences. 

Cooper is a household name after she joined NBC for the network’s Olympics coverage this summer in Paris.
