Alex Cooper, the blunt host of the Call Her Daddy podcast, took aim at Kamala Harris’s campaign for reportedly blowing a staggering $100,000 on a mock set to recreate her podcast studio.
As reported by Breitbart, Cooper called the excessive spending unnecessary, noting that her own Los Angeles studio didn’t cost anywhere near six figures.
The revelation followed Harris’s crushing defeat in the November election, where Donald Trump secured a decisive Electoral College victory. Reports have since surfaced detailing questionable expenses from the Harris campaign’s $1 billion war chest, and this podcast setup fiasco has drawn particular scrutiny.

According to the Washington Examiner, the Harris team spent six figures on constructing a set for her October appearance on Call Her Daddy.
The mock studio, built inside a Washington, D.C. hotel room, was intended to mimic Cooper’s setup for the interview. The lavish expense raised eyebrows, especially considering the podcast’s reach paled in comparison to Trump’s appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience.
Speaking at the New York Times’ DealBook Summit, Cooper didn’t hold back when asked about the report by moderator Andrew Ross Sorkin. “The Harris campaign spent like $100,000. Do you know about this?” Sorkin asked.
“It’s hilarious,” Cooper responded, adding a dose of sarcasm to the already embarrassing story. “My studio that is gorgeous in Los Angeles doesn’t even cost six figures, so I don’t know how cardboard walls could cost six figures.”
When pressed on whether she believed the price tag, Cooper was blunt.
“Absolutely not,” she said. “With love to them, it was gorgeous, but it wasn’t that nice. It wasn’t like gorgeous marble. No. That was not six figures.”

Although Cooper attempted to downplay the controversy, describing the makeshift set as “gorgeous,” her comments still highlighted the wasteful spending by the Harris campaign. Conservatives have seized on the story as an example of the tone-deaf excess that has long plagued Democratic campaigns.
Adding to the drama, Cooper has faced criticism for her softball interview with Harris. While Cooper has claimed she extended an invitation to the Trump campaign for equal airtime, recent reports have cast doubt on whether that offer was ever made.
The absurdity of spending $100,000 on a set that didn’t even impress its target audience has left many wondering about Harris’s judgment—not just as a candidate, but as someone entrusted with taxpayer dollars.
For a campaign that claimed to champion working-class Americans, this extravagant spending seems like a glaring contradiction.
