Summary

  • Vox Media said Tuesday that Clinton and Swisher will release “High Stakes” every Wednesday starting this week as a limited series inside New York magazine’s “On with Kara Swisher.”
  • The podcast is designed to break down the midterm race and its aftermath, with Clinton saying November’s stakes for the country and the world “have never been higher.”
  • Clinton has recently used podcasts and public events to argue Democrats should capitalize on a difficult environment for Republicans to win back Congress.
  • The launch extends an existing podcast partnership: Clinton guest-hosted Swisher’s “Pivot” in August, and previously ran “You and Me Both with Hillary Clinton” from 2020 to 2023.
