President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he’s accepted an invitation from CNN to debate former President Donald Trump on June 27 – challenging the former president to a showdown months earlier than the traditional fall face-offs.
I’m not sure what his contract is like tho, they may have given him a ridiculous long contract to make the jump back in the day. So still paying him 2000s money even without that audience.
Here’s to hoping this is just the start and Biden starts doing more appearances though.
He needs to engage with voters if he wants to win. This is a step in the right direction at least.
I imagine a big draw is Stern and probably sports radio.
Sirius XM has a long list of sports-talk and play-by-play stations. And the “listen to sports” and “browses Lemmy” venn diagram is, in fact, two entirely isolated circles.
I don’t care much for sports but in my market I think all the sports stations are old AM radio. Satellite adds a ton of fidelity and may not have the regional blackouts TV has (that I don’t know about).
I dunno, never listened to Stern.
But you’re acting like these days he’s Good Morning America.
Bill Clinton went on MTV and answered live questions then did a sax solo, that reached a shit ton of people in a demographic that gets Dems in office.
I don’t even know what demographic subscribes to satellite radio these days, let along how many listen to Stern.
Like I said tho an hour long interview is 100% what Biden should be doing, I’m just not sure why they picked Howard Stern in 2024.
Maybe because Charlemagne just isn’t an option for Biden anymore?
He kept asking Biden hard hitting political questions, and we seem to agree that when Biden talks politics it doesn’t go over well with voters.

Oh yeah, he’s always been the main draw there.

$265 each per year. That’s wild.
My wife got a used car with a Sirius in it. She used it for the free trial but we don’t do talk radio so it seemed completely pointless.
