Kamala Harris’ appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast struck a major chord with those on social media as her presidential campaign heats up.

With the presidential election less than 30 days away, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has embarked on a strategy of sitting for interviews with non-traditional media outlets. Some analysts and observers have criticized the vice president for engaging in what they deem “softball” interviews and avoiding legacy media. Her latest interview was on the Call Her Daddy podcast, hosted by Alex Cooper, and it generated several key highlights as well as some inspired responses from those on social media who had a chance to tune in.

The episode featuring Vice President Harris was devoid of raunchy humor and bold talk on subjects such as sexuality which has been part of the show’s appeal. Cooper asked some pertinent questions during the interview, which aired on Sunday (October 6) related to critical comments about Harris. One of those focused on Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders knocking Harris during a town hall in Flint, Michigan, saying that while her three children keep her “humble”, she feels “Kamala Harris doesn’t have anything keeping her humble.” Harris spoke with warmth about her life with Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff, and being a stepmother. “This is not the 1950s anymore,” Harris said. “Families come in all kinds of forms.” She would add, “I don’t think she understands that there are a whole lot of women out here who, one, are not aspiring to be humble. Two, a whole lot of women out here who have a lot of love in their life, family in their life, and children in their life.”

Some social media users did express their disappointment with Cooper, wondering why she didn’t press her about the devastation by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina and when she planned to interview Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. In the prelude to the episode, Cooper explained her reasons for interviewing Harris and revealed that Trump did not respond to her invitation to come on the show.

Many more online lauded Cooper for landing such a prestigious interview and getting some insightful answers. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, a user named TVMoJoe wrote: “I learned far more about her in 45 minutes than in any of the interviews she’s done with mainstream outlets. The reason: the questions were designed to get answers vs. play gotcha.”
