In the final sprint of the election, Harris floods the zone with Howard Stern, Stephen Colbert, and podcast interviews.
  • This week, Vice President Kamala Harris will appear on several media outlets, including the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, "60 Minutes" on CBS, "The View" on ABC, "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" on CBS, and "The Howard Stern Show."
  • In the final leg of the presidential race, the media blitz aims to overwhelm Donald Trump's message and influence undecided voters' decisions.
  • Trump has spoken on podcasts that appeal to young men, including "This Past Weekend w/Theo Von," the "Lex Fridman Podcast," and conversations with close allies like Elon Musk.

This week, Vice President Kamala Harris will intensify her media presence with interviews on both traditional and alternative platforms to reach a broad audience of voters.

The Harris campaign's media campaign aims to silence former President Trump during the final stretch of the presidential race, as undecided voters make their crucial election decisions.

On Sunday, Alex Cooper's interview with Harris is set to be aired on the widely listened-to "Call Her Daddy" podcast, marking the beginning of the week.

On Monday evening, "60 Minutes" will feature a sit-down interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and correspondent Bill Whitaker. The Trump campaign had initially accepted an invitation for an interview on the show but later declined.

On Tuesday, the vice president will be flown to New York for guest appearances on "The View," "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," and "The Howard Stern Show."

On Thursday, both Harris and Trump will participate in separate townhalls with Univision, a major Spanish-language television broadcaster.

The vice president has been criticized by her Republican opponents for focusing on scripted rallies and speeches instead of doing media interviews and more unscripted settings.

With early voting underway and the election just 30 days away, the Harris and Trump campaigns are intensely competing for media attention.

In July, after President Joe Biden announced he would not run for reelection, Harris's early campaign stages dominated the news cycle.

Since then, Trump has made efforts to regain the media's focus.

Trump has interviewed on popular podcasts like "This Past Weekend w/Theo Von" and the "Lex Fridman Podcast," as well as with Dr. Phil and Shawn Ryan, a former Navy Seal. He also had a highly anticipated conversation with close ally Elon Musk on the X social media platform in August.

During his accelerated campaign, Vice President Harris has participated in interviews with CNN, a NAACP panel, MSNBC, and some local media outlets.
