The Bulwark Podcast Host Tim Miller on His Audience: ‘People … Just Resonate with the Candor’

EXCERPT:

MILLER: “No Republicans ever going to hire me again. I don't aspire to work for the next Democratic administration, God willing. And so I think people like that, they just resonate with the candor. And it really took off in '24 in the summer when, you know, you have this back-to-back tragedies of Joe Biden's debate performance, followed by the assassination attempt on Trump. And there was a lot of left wing, like far left stuff on YouTube. There's obviously on YouTube in particular, there's a ton of right wing stuff. All of that. There wasn't a lot of center left information. And there were a lot of people who were just coming into the news. They're like, 'Holy sh*t! Joe Biden can't talk. And someone almost assassinated Trump.' And they came to us and they felt like we were giving them like our authentic point of view on all this. And we gained huge audience over that summer. And luckily, they've stuck with me for now. Knock on wood.”
