NEW YORK, Oct. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- In the last 48
hours the leaders of both the Democratic and Republican parties
have turned to SiriusXM. Proving yet again that it's the ultimate
destination for politics on the radio, SiriusXM has
conducted news-making interviews with President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Sec. Hillary
Clinton, and Donald J.
Trump.
This morning the president spoke with SiriusXM channel Shade 45
in a wide-ranging interview making headlines across the sports,
music, and political worlds. In addition to encouraging young
people to vote, President Obama chatted with host Sway about
everything from his favorite music, picks to win the Super Bowl and
NBA Championship, and whether his wife Michelle Obama will ever run for political
office.
Over on the conservative channel SiriusXM Patriot (125),
Donald Trump spoke with Breitbart
News Daily host Alex Marlow
about his promise to undecided republican voters that he will only
nominate conservatives to the Supreme Court, the criticism he
received from CNN regarding taking time out of his campaign to open
his new Washington, D.C. hotel, as
well as why he's the messenger for the forgotten men and women of
the country.
On Wednesday evening Sec. Hillary
Clinton discussed her presidential campaign on SiriusXM
Progress (channel 127), confiding in Mark
Thompson that if elected, one of her top goals will be to
heal the country after this difficult political campaign. The
news-making interview also covered everything from her opinions on
Donald Trump's treatment of women to
her first comments on Adele's endorsement.
Finally, tonight Michael
Smerconish will talk with Vice President Joe Biden for an interview to air on Monday
morning's non-partisan political channel, SiriusXM P.O.T.U.S.
(124). Listeners can tune in to hear the vice president's reaction
to the news that if she wins, Sec. Clinton would like Biden to be
her Secretary of State.
"The last 48 hours have been a great opportunity to showcase
SiriusXM's remarkable diversity," said Scott Greenstein, President and Chief Content
Officer, SiriusXM. "It's been a long road to the White House, and
SiriusXM has led the way during the course of this 2016
presidential season, offering coverage across the political
spectrum. Whether it's hearing the president's opinion on
sports and music, our political experts landing interviews with
both Sec. Clinton and Mr. Trump, as well as our sitting vice
president, the last 48 hours once again prove why SiriusXM is the
top destination for politics on the radio."
