Campaign staffers explain some of their podcast decisions — including not going on Joe Rogan's podcast — and how some shows rejected the candidate.
— where celebrities struggle to finish off chicken wings topped with increasingly volcanic levels of sauce — rejected the Harris campaign’s request to come on the show, said Team Harris leadersas an example,” podcast host Dan Pfeiffer said as he asked about Harris media opportunities that didn’t happen.
The Harris team said they were willing to do Rogan’s show in Austin during a visit to nearby Houston for a campaign event with Beyoncé, but then they found out he was interviewing Trump that day instead. “I hate to repeat this over and over, but it was a very short race with a limited number of days and for a candidate to leave the battleground and go to Houston is a day off the playing field in the battleground ,” Cutter said. “As it turns out, that was the day that Trump was taping his Joe Rogan , which they had never confirmed to us. We kind of figured that out, in the lead up to it … She was ready, willing to go on Joe Rogan. So, we had discussions with Joe Rogan’s team. They were great.
Added David Plouffe: “We offered to do it in Austin. People should know that. Didn’t work out. I think maybe they leveraged that to get Trump in studio. And then we were obviously not going to be back in Texas but offered to do it on the road.” As for whether going on Rogan’s show would have helped Harris, who struggled to draw young men in the election, Cutter said, “It would have broken through , not because of the conversation with Joe Rogan, but because of the fact that she was doing it — and that was really the benefit of it. Will she do it in the future? Maybe. Who knows? But it didn’t ultimately impact the outcome one way or the other. But she was willing to do whatever it takes.
