Kamala Harris’ failed presidential campaign spent six figures on a podcast appearance that attracted a mere sliver of the viewership President-elect Trump scored by showing up on comedian Joe Rogan’s show, according to a new report.
Harris spent the megabucks from her $1 billion war chest building a set for her interview with Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy” podcast, the Washington Examiner reported. Her interview was reportedly filmed in a Washington D.C. hotel room.
Trump’s Oct. 25 appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” already has over 47 million views on YouTube, while Harris’ showing on the raunchy women’s sex and relationship-focused podcast has just 813,201 views since being uploaded Oct. 6, Fox News reported.
Rogan has said he was in negotiations with Harris’ team for her to appear, but the plan was scrapped after she refused to travel to his studio in Austin, Texas.

Harris’ presidential campaign, replete with appearances from stars like Beyonce, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin and others, also reportedly spent $15 million on “event production,” with $1 million going to Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions.
“Money can’t buy you love or a good candidate,” Republican political strategist Brad Todd told The Examiner when asked about the Harris campaign’s massive spending.
“Advertising is a pretty important source of information for swing voters. It no doubt matters, but it’s not enough. It doesn’t matter if you have the wrong message, and it’s not delivered in a compelling way.
“What her campaign was missing was any effort to break with the unpopular administration she has been a part of.”
Harris’ campaign didn’t immediately return messages.
