During an election post-mortem episode of the "Pod Save America" podcast, Jen O'Malley Dillon, the Harris-Walz campaign chair, Quentin Fulks, deputy campaign manager, and senior advisors Stephanie Cutter and David Plouffe revealed that they reached out to "Hot Ones" about having their candidate on during a point in Harris' campaign where she was angling for appearances on non-political shows, in an effort to appeal to young voters, but the creators of the show declined the request.
According to Stephanie Cutter, who ran messaging and media strategy for Harris, the show “didn’t want to delve into politics."
