"They reached out to me and I recognized that maybe in a different election, it wouldn’t be the case and who knows in future elections what I’ll do, but in this specific election, the entire focus is on women’s bodies and we’re losing rights by the day, and so, to have the most popular female podcast, where most women listen to the show in the country, it felt like a no-brainer," she shared.

"How, as a woman, am I not going to do this?" Cooper recalled thinking.

After the podcast went live, Cooper received tons of backlash regarding her choice to have the Democratic candidate on, though she noted it was expected.

"Listen, I knew it was going to come. I am very aware that my audience is very split, and I again take that with responsibility. I don’t want to alienate people, but I did feel like I had a sense of responsibility, so I kind of, like, didn’t care," she stated.
