Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz recently shared an amusing anecdote about the pseudonym he uses for Vice President Kamala Harris in his phone contacts. During a late-night appearance, Walz revealed that he has Harris listed as 'My dry cleaner' in his phone, explaining that it was the first thing that came to mind when asked to come up with a name. He humorously mentioned that he hadn't considered the scenario of his actual dry cleaner calling him and joked about potentially updating the contact name to 'Madam Vice President.'
Walz also recounted the story of initially missing Harris' call informing him of being her VP pick because he mistook the number for a car warranty call. A high-ranking aide had to intervene to ensure he answered the important call.
Leading up to the election, Harris and Walz have participated in a total of 31 interviews, while former President Trump and his running mate JD Vance have engaged in 69 interviews on various voter-related topics.
Following Harris' appearance on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, where she discussed issues like domestic violence and abortion, the podcast faced criticism from its audience. Harris repeated a debunked claim during the interview, which led to backlash and a loss of followers for the podcast host, Alex Cooper.
Listeners expressed disappointment and disgust over the podcast's direction, with many vowing to stop listening. The podcast, ranked second on Spotify behind 'The Joe Rogan Experience,' faced significant backlash for the interview with Harris.
Many criticized Cooper for not addressing pressing issues like the aftermath of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina and the impending impact of Hurricane Milton in Florida, highlighting the need for more substantial discussions on the podcast.
