Low information voters…..
Ah?
Anyone think these people are gonna come out as strong as he needs?
Former President Donald Trump’s campaign over the past several months has been quietly engaged in behind-the-scenes talks for a sit-down interview with an influential media figure.
It’s not a network personality or a “60 Minutes” anchor or even Elon Musk for a stab at Twitter Spaces.It’s boxing legend
“Iron” Mike Tyson.
Tyson — an old Trump pal who recently dined with the former president at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate — is, in his post-fighting days, the host of the “Hotboxin’” podcast. It’s a show that draws a range of celebs, like the rapper Tyga, retired skateboarder Tony Hawk and comedian Cedric the Entertainer. And it could soon feature a former president who is now the prohibitive favorite to be his party’s White House nominee.
The Trump campaign’s interest in Tyson’s podcast is part of a broader strategic outreach to non-traditional media outlets, specifically those affiliated with male audiences with an interest in contact and combat sports. This week, days after making an appearance at an Ultimate Fighting Championship fight in Las Vegas, the ex-president is expected to be featured on the popular podcast “UFC Unfiltered.”
This spring he recorded an interview on “Full Send,” a podcast hosted by the “Nelk Boys,” a comedian and prankster trio. There have also been talks about Trump doing an interview on Barstool Sports, a sports and pop culture behemoth especially popular among young men.
The outreach underscores the degree to which Trump remains a cultural figure as much as a political one. It also highlights a centerpiece of his election strategy — in both the Republican primary and, should he be the party’s nominee, the general election. He and his team are placing a major bet on appealing to less politically active voters…..
