Ep. 3 | David Plouffe on Pod Save America, Kamala’s Thanksgiving Address, and Hasan Piker Interview

https://thescreechpod.com

Pod Save America's Dan Pfeiffer hosted a historic interview on Thursday with senior staffers from the Kamala Harris campaign: David Plouffe, Jen O'Malley-Dillon, Quentin Fulks and Stephanie Cutter spent a full 90 minutes doing a painful postmortem of their failed bid for the presidency in 2024.

The staffers were in cover their ass mode and failed to grapple with many important questions, but it's still a fascinating look behind the scenes of a major campaign that the public rarely gets.

Kamala Harris resurfaced just before Thanksgiving with a 10 minute video address. Introduced by Governor Tim Walz, Harris proceeds to ramble and slur and misspeak through the entire performance. It was not the dignified message of a graceful loser - it was instead an embarrassing testament to her inevitable and obvious defeat.

Pod Save America's Jon Lovett also interviewed Hassan Piker and red district congressman Seth Moulton to discuss the state of the party and their ideas for electoral success for democrats in coming cycles.
