Episode 2 | The South Got Somethin' to Say
What happens when you’ve poured everything into a campaign, only to watch it all fall apart? In this episode of The Southern Comfort Podcast, Kevin and Rich take a brutally honest look at the 2016 election, the strategic missteps that cost Hillary Clinton the presidency, and why Black voters (especially Black men) still feel politically homeless. From Obama-era campaign lessons to the future of the Democratic Party, they unpack what went wrong—and what needs to change before 2024. Plus, the Mamba Mentality Award goes to a political powerhouse who’s taken more hits than most and keeps showing up.

Episode 1 | Two Dope Boyz
Southern politics just got a front-row seat! In this debut episode of The Southern Comfort Podcast, veteran campaign operatives Kevin Harris and Richard McDaniel break down the intersection of power, policy, and culture—all through a Southern lens.

Harris and Her Campaign Unraveling - Ep 24-415
[SEGMENT 1-1] Harris campaign unraveling The Kamala Harris campaign is derailing and on multiple levels. First, Harris herself is suffering from what happened when she ran for president in 2020 and ultimately got one percent of the Democrat vote. Harris Fatigued Syndrome (HFS). It doesn't take long for HFS to set in. In fact, only ten minutes listening to Harris causes the listener to spontaneously develop the condition. I've talked about and written about the "sugar high" of dumping Biden. Many Democrats mistook this for exuberance for Harris. Believe whatever you want, but one thing is for sure: the p...

Harris campaign dismantling - Ep 24-359
[SEGMENT 1-1] Harris campaign leaks… The Harris-Walz campaign is trying to swim upstream in quicksand. Yes, it’s really that bad. Nothing improved for Harris over the weekend. People called her first few weeks a honeymoon. And perhaps it was. But whatever bump Democrats got for dumping Biden has ended. And on that note, let’s call the enthusiasm what it was, the joy of getting rid of the old senile corrupt candidate. Democrats would have put in Lucifer, if it meant dumping Biden. His tired style of “cranky old man” played out two years ago. And his dementia wasn’t helping any...
