Overview

• Reports claim the Harris campaign spent over $100,000 to build a replica of the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast studio for an October interview in Washington, D.C.
• Alex Cooper, the podcast's host, expressed disbelief at the reported cost, stating her own Los Angeles studio does not cost six figures to maintain.
• The Harris campaign has not dismissed the figure, with campaign Chairwoman Jen O'Malley Dillon defending the expenditure as part of voter outreach efforts.
• Harris's appearance on the podcast, focused on abortion and women's rights, faced criticism for being a perceived 'softball' interview that failed to resonate with voters.
• The campaign's spending decisions have drawn scrutiny following Harris's loss to Donald Trump, whose appearances on popular podcasts like 'The Joe Rogan Experience' were praised for engaging male voters.
