Why ‘Hot Ones’ Gave Kamala Harris the Cold Shoulder—and a Hot Sauce Burn

Picture this: Kamala Harris, the reigning VP, sitting across from Sean Evans, dabbing hot sauce on a chicken wing while casually dismantling foreign policy questions. A match made in PR heaven, right? Wrong. The fiery throne of Hot Ones turned her away, and let’s just say, the 2024 election aftermath got spicy.

In an exclusive tell-all (read: podcast therapy session) on Pod Save America, Harris’s dream team—Stephanie Cutter, David Plouffe, campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon, and deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks—spilled the tea hotter than a Carolina Reaper wing.

Kamala on Podcasts? A Missed Opportunity
Apparently, the Harris-Walz campaign had big podcast energy on their bingo card. After all, Donald Trump and Elon Musk were busy bonding with Joe Rogan over kettlebells and conspiracy theories. So, why not Kamala? “Never in history has there been a candidate better suited for ‘Hot Ones,’” the Pod Save America hosts pointed out, and honestly, we agree. She’s got that charisma that could pair perfectly with some Scoville heat.

But alas, Stephanie Cutter dropped the bomb: Hot Ones just wasn’t that into them. “They didn’t want to delve into politics,” she explained. Turns out, wing-eating contests are apolitical territory—who knew? Not only did they snub Harris, but they also turned down Donald Trump. Imagine that panel: Sean Evans sweating over questions like, “Mr. Trump, what’s your nuclear wing strategy?”

Joe Rogan: The One That Got Away
Okay, fine, no wings. But how about bro-ing out with Joe Rogan in Austin? Harris’s team tried. They tried! David Plouffe made it crystal clear: “We offered to do it in Austin. People should know that.” Translation: We packed our travel-sized Tabasco and were ready to roll.

However, the Rogan camp said, “Nah.” Something about logistics, schedules, and maybe the fear of a debate breaking out over Texas barbecue sauces. Rogan later claimed it was Harris’s team that refused to show up. Classic he-said-she-said, but with fewer wings and more passive-aggressive shade.

Missed Sauces, Missed Votes
A tale of lost podcast glory, missed hot wings, and a political campaign that could’ve sizzled but instead went mild. As Kamala Harris reflects on her 2024 loss, one can’t help but wonder: Would a dab of The Last Dab have changed the course of history? We may never know, but one thing’s for sure—politics has never been so saucy.
