Vice President Kamala Harris warned voters that Trump doesn’t care about them in a chat with ex-football star Shannon Sharpe that aired on his popular podcast Monday.
“Don’t think you’re in Donald Trump’s club. You’re not,” Harris said. “He’s not going to be thinking about you, You think he’s having you over for dinner?”
The Democratic presidential nominee added that Trump is only focused on himself and his wealthy friends, not people of color.
“You think that when he’s with his buddies, his billionaire buddies, he’s thinking about what we have to do to deal with addressing for example my work (on Black men’s health)?” Harris asked.
“To be president of the United States means to find common ground, to build consensus, to lift up the American people instead of trying to beat people down all the time….Does anybody think Donald Trump thinks that way?”
Harris also discussed her childhood, college years and trailblazing career in public service in the hourlong sit-down with Sharpe, whose Club Shay Shay podcast usually includes trading sips of high-end liquor.
She gushed about the thrill of hearing Stevie Wonder sing “Happy Birthday” to her and recounted stories about the people who shaped her upbringing in a household led by a single mom in Oakland, California.
Asked for what she would say to her 18-year-old self, Harris offered advice she says she regularly gives to young people: Don’t let anyone hold you back because you are the first person to do something.
“I eat no for breakfast,” she said (after saying she actually goes for a spinach omelette and apple chicken sausage). “I don’t hear no.”
The interview with Sharpe, whose audience of 3.6 million YouTuber subscribers is predominantly male, was the latest effort by Harris to reach out to diverse groups of voters in non-traditional methods.
It comes after Trump did a rambling three-hour interview with Joe Rogan on his podcast that has an even larger audience of mostly younger white men.
Both candidates are looking for voters anywhere they can as the days tick down to next Tuesday’s dead heat election.
