Minnesota's Governor Tim Walz recently disclosed the unusual alias he uses for Vice President Kamala Harris in his phone contacts during his first appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live."
The Democratic governor admitted to the late-night host that he had saved her number under the name "My dry cleaner." "They told me to come up with something and that was all I could think of," Walz confessed.
According to Fox News, when Kimmel queried what would transpire if Walz's actual dry cleaner were to call him, the governor humorously admitted he hadn't thought that far ahead. Kimmel suggested that perhaps he should rename his dry cleaner's contact to "Madam Vice President." Walz also shared an amusing anecdote about how he initially ignored a call from Harris, mistaking it for a car warranty scam, which led to a high-ranking aide persuading him to answer the call. To date, Vice President Harris and Walz have conducted a total of 31 interviews, while former President Trump and his running mate JD Vance have engaged in 69 interviews discussing various voter concerns leading up to election day.
Walz's late-night television appearance followed a contentious interview by Harris on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast. During the 44-minute conversation with host Alex Cooper, Harris broached the sensitive topics of domestic violence and abortion. Notably, Harris reiterated a discredited claim that a woman in Georgia had died due to delayed medical care resulting from the state's abortion restrictions, a narrative that doctors have previously debunked as false.
The "Call Her Daddy" podcast, which ranks second in popularity on Spotify, just behind "The Joe Rogan Experience," has faced significant backlash from its audience following Coopers interview with Harris. Cooper, a "Barstool Sports" alumna, lost thousands of followers after the episode aired.
Disgruntled listeners expressed their disappointment, with one former fan stating, "One of my most favorite podcasts and now Ill never listen again. Unbelievable." Another added, "DONE, this was my fav podcast. Im 100% disgusted." A multitude of users criticized Cooper for neglecting to discuss the pressing issue of Americans still in desperate need of aid following the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, and the impending threat of Hurricane Milton to Florida.
